Refers to NS' letter of two days previously, which was of intense interest to her. Claims to have been absorbed by Henry Sidgwick: a Memoir, and suggests that in addition to the biography and letters, people who knew HS could each write down an account of a memorable conversation with him. States that she is 'rather anxious, also busy' at present, but undertakes to try 'to join some memories with [her] sisters' memories.' Expresses the hope that she and NS may meet. States that if her husband could stay with NS she would 'make out a promised visit to a friend at Cambridge'. Claims that questions about [the living's] connection with the dead, in their moral aspects as viewed by HS, have pressed on her lately. Announces that she thinks that she and her husband will come to NS in May, and hopes that it will not be any inconvenience to her to receive her husband. Announces that she is to go to the Donaldsons at [Magdalene]. Thanks her for the gift of the book.
