Scope and content
Tells of how much he is enjoying 'the prospect of work opening out' at the post which Sidgwick appointed him to. Foresees ' a chance of putting many of [his] long cherished schemes into a sort of practice', thanks in part to their system of 'local government'. Fears that Myers regards him as a 'back-slider', but doesn't feel like one. Has got 'university and other developments on the brain' and is 'concocting many documents', of which he promises to send copies to Sidgwick in due course. Announces that there will be a research laboratory provided, where he will work. Has 'plenty of energy', and is in need of a holiday, and reports that he has just '"bought" a house in B[irming]ham.' Explains that he does not say anything about Sidgwick's illness because nothing he can say, he believes, is of use. Sends his regards to Mrs Sidgwick.
