Scope and content

Comments that Sidgwick's letter seem to him 'to meet the case very well', but suggests that one epithet at the end 'is perhaps a trifle too aggressive though perfectly just.' Recommends alternative adjectives to be used in place of those used by Sidgwick. Remarks that 'to check Furnivall is a feat hitherto unperformed, probably impossible', but that the threat of a general withdrawal may stop him for a time.
