| Content and context |
| (Exeter.) 'You don't say how far you have got in the mending of your legs.' Responds to Pollock's remarks on the 'Green Grosery' [Hume's Treatise on Human Nature, ed. Green and Grose (1874)], referring to writings by Appleton and Sidgwick. Lucy has been to Aberdeen to try to save her sister [Isabel] from going into an Anglican convent [St Margaret's]. Suggests that it should be illegal to persuade a woman under thirty to enter a conventual institution. Will return Pollock's 'charming bit of Rabelais' to Sir Frederick on Monday. (Partly printed in Lectures and Essays, i. 45-6.) |
