Typewritten. Declares his grief on hearing, through 'Professor Cattell's touching notice in the Oct. number of the Popular Science Monthly', of the death of HS. Explains that they have been living out at their Minnetonka island, where they have no access to daily newspapers. Explains that he wrote to HS from there just about the time of his death, having heard that he had resigned his professorship. Recalls beginning 'with great enthusiasm' The Methods of Ethics, when he was a graduate at Yale University in 1888, and also reading The History of Ethics in the following spring, which convinced him to come over to HS personally in the autumn of 1889. Refers to the value of his year's contact with HS in Cambridge, and claims that nothing he could say in a letter could give adequate expression to his feelings towards him. Explains that HS had lent him �100 during his [Gale's] last year in Leipzig. Encloses a letter from HS in relation to it [copy included], and undertakes to begin its repayment the following year. Expresses a desire to have photographs of HS and NS, and asks NS to send the letter back to him at her convenience. Is sure that '[s]ome knowledge of his sickness and more details of his life' will probably be published in the Society for Psychical Research publications. Repeats his expression of sympathy with NS, quoting George Eliot's poem 'The Choir Invisible'.
