Scope and content

Thanks him for dealing with his book. Remarks that Sidgwick is 'very hard to please'. Refers to his sentiment about philosophers, and states that he meant to make a second speech at the d[inner] [Apostles' dinner?], to reply to those who were offended by the epithet that he used, but didn't. Compares his experience to 'the story of Sheridan'.
