States that he does not expect to find much that is worth keeping in his letters to HS, but suggests that there may be some cases in which HS' letter is an answer to one from Sully, and that this 'might make his reply more fully intelligible.' Asks NS, therefore, to send on to him any letters 'which look as if they might be important in this way'. Claims to be 'deeply absorbed in the reading of Henry Sidgwick: A Memoir, and states that the early part of the life is of great interest to him, since he knew very little of HS' youth and early adulthood. Recalls a letter he received while studying in G�ttingen in 1867 from an 'undergraduate friend at Trinity in which he spoke enthusiastically of Sidgwick's lectures and of his Aristotelian way of setting out his problems.' Refers to Professor Benfey and his daughters and to 'the walk [HS] writes of under the [Suidenb�ume]'and to Professor Ewald, whose lectures [Sully] attended, and at whose house he was often a visitor. States that there was an interval of two years and three months between their visits. Declares that HS' life 'seems to have been almost a perfect realization of Aristotle's ideal of the perfect life.' Remarks on his deep insight, and maturity of thought, which were reached at such an early age. Thanks NS for the pleasure she has given him.
