Scope and content
Assures Sidgwick that he would gladly look at anything he sent, but warns him of the unlikelihood of a paper on Self-Deception by an unknown hand being printed. States that if Sidgwick were to write such a paper, it would probably be printed. Jokingly puts forward the suggestion that 'every writer sh[oul]d play Herod and massacre every literary aspirant for twenty years to come.' This, he claims, 'would give people time to digest the Methods of Ethics and other fine books'. Tells him to send his 'young man's MS.', and also something of his own.'
