Unidad documental simple 6 - Letter from W. E. Gladstone to Henry Sidgwick

Claims to be 'absolutely powerless' in the matter of employment for [E.A. Wallis] Budge, and that he never uses his influence in this way', 'except in the case of a Private Secretaryship.' Mentions, and seems to dismiss, the position of Inspector of Schools. Also refers to the British Museum, where Budge 'is known to Dr Birch'. Claims that there are only two things he can and could do; 'to subscribe' or 'to tell at the Council Office, Museum, or wherever it may be, the story of his [ ] and struggling life.' Invites Sidgwick and Mrs Sidgwick to visit him the following Thursday at 10 am, if he comes to London. With envelope.
