Scope and content

Thanks Sidgwick for his letter. Announces his intention of coming to England on 30 June, on account of his brother's ill health. Plans to visit him first, and then to go to Cambridge and stay with Sidgwick. Discusses the war in America, including 'the relief of the Cubans' and 'Santiago bay', in classical terms. Urges Sidgwick to add to his Ethics, 'or rather to [his] Psychology...a special section on self will'. Discusses the notion of the '"American" temper'. Declares that when he arrives in England and has seen his brother, he will write to Sidgwick. Send his regards to Mrs Sidgwick, whom he directs to stay at Newnham.
