Objekt 84 - Letter from Tina G.R. Taylor to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Expresses her [and others's] delight at the receipt of Nora's telegram, and thanks her for her kind thought. Has found 'the interest taken in it by Newnham at large quite the most pleasing part of [her] recent good fortune.' States that they are pleased to hear of Henry Sidgwick's favourable progress [since his operation], and that his illness was a great shock to them. Was at his last two lectures on ethics, and never heard him lecture better. Declares how much they appreciate all Henry has done for Newnham, not only in its establishment, but also making it possible for Nora to devote so much time to its management. As Moral Science students, they have good reason to appreciate him as a teacher; says that the 'sudden improvement in the character of the results' is no doubt 'largely due to the fact that Ethics is included in Part I.' Her own plans for the future are not yet settled, but that she hopes to get work in South Africa as soon as the war is over.
