Writes on the death of HS to express his sympathy with NS for her loss. Declares that he has known HS for the past forty-four years, and that they met as Freshmen in Trinity College, 'by which early time it was already clear that he would certainly become a most distinguished man.' States that he has watched his brilliant career with interest, but claims that 'the special point of light in it is, and will remain...the resignation for consciencious reasons of his Fellowhsip at a time when that step might leave very seriously injured, if not ruined, his academic career.' Prays that NS may be strengthened to bear this loss. Adds that he leaves Cornwall the following day.
