Thanks her for her letter, and undertakes to write soon. Remarks that Mr Boyd's letter 'is very kind in tone', and wishes that something could be done for the youth. Informs her that he has not been able to decide on the plan he proposed to her. Regrets to tell her that he shall not be coming to see her in July, as he intends to go to Germany for the Long Vacation, starting in June. States that he wants to work at German philosophy 'and also to renew old associations.' Claims that 'there is not much advice to give [Miss Horton] except to tell her that Stone's short or long are the things that pay.' Asks if she is in Brighton, and says that he may go there on his way to the continent. Reports that Mr Boyd has not exactly taken his view. Feels that his disapproval of Mr Love's views might prevent his asking a favour for himself or a relation of his.
