Item 13 - Letter from S. H. Butcher to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Has mentioned to Nora's sister Alice that he had 'once or twice got letters from [Henry]', which might be of interest to her; one of them related to some difficulties he had raised about women's degrees at Cambridge. Regrets to say that he has not been able to find them, and fears that they may have been mislaid or have perished in the course of various clearances of his house. Undertakes to send them to Nora if he comes across them, and adds that the missing letters only amount to two or three. Remarks that it must be 'a profound satisfaction' to all Henry's friends that Nora has been able to recover so much, and also what a difficult task it must be to arrange the lectures on European politics. Reports that he is 'weathering the winter well', and that they spent 'two delightful Sundays at Whittingehame the previous month. Sends Rose's love.
