Pièce 90 - Letter from R. K. Wilson to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Writes to express his sympathy, and that of his wife, to Nora on the death of Henry Sidgwick. Says he was deeply grieved by the announcement in that morning's papers of the death of his friend. Declares that he felt reverence towards Henry, among whose attributes he counts wisdom, justice, sympathy and unselfishness. States that during his [Wilson's] fourteen years at Cambridge he had often occasion to ask his advice, 'or help, or both, and never asked in vain.' Adds that his wife's experience was the same 'during her connections with the Charity Organisation work'.
