Writes on the death of Henry Sidgwick to express his sympathy with Nora in her 'irreparable sorrow'. Refers to Henry as 'the most loveable and loved of men' and 'the kindest and most valued of friends'. Claims that it was a consolation to him 'to be the bearer of the affectionate greetings of his Cambridge [associates]' when he saw him for the last time. He had hoped that 'the end might have come not quite so soon', and that Nora would have 'still some longer enjoyment of [their] happy times. Wishes her the strength and fortitude Henry would have wished for her to have.
