Reports that the 'advance [sheets]' of Henry Sidgwick: a Memoir arrived the previous afternoon, and that he has 'been devouring them ever since.' Undertakes to begin reviewing them at once. States that English magazines 'take a great while before they publish articles that they have accepted' and refers to some examples from personal experience. Declares that in relation to the memoir, Nora and Arthur have surpassed themselves. While he describes everything about Henry and Balfour as 'interesting', remarks that he wished the authors' 'stern conscientiousness could have relaxed itself a little.' Expresses the hope that the published volume will contain a portrait [of Henry].

Remarks that it is very kind of Nora to include material about himself, and confesses his concern that he may be able to repay the kindness 'by presenting something like a satisfactory picture of [Henry's] soul'; says that Henry 'had a symmetrical yet a lively [beauty]' which captivated him and many others. Refers to a man living [in Quincy, Massachusetts] some time previously, who had an intellect resembling Henry's, and had 'a power of controlling discussion, and probing every problem down to its elements', but had none of Henry's 'sweetness'. Refers to his visit to Newnham in 1904.
