Writes on the death of Henry Sidgwick to express his sympathy with her on her loss. Expresses his own deep regret 'for the loss of so old, so valued, and so admired a friend', whom he had known for nearly thirty-five years. States that Henry's death is a loss to his friends, Cambridge University, and his subject. Refers to his conversation, which was always maintained on a high level, 'without being in the least pedantic or wearisome', and to his desire of getting at the truth. Suggests that it is a consolation that Henry had already lived to do so much good work, and that he had left behind him so many pleasant memories to his family and friends. Explains that he had not written to her inquiring about Henry during his illness since he was regularly receiving information from Henry's brother [Arthur?] and other friends.
