Autograph Letter Signed to Sydney A. Gimson, 1860-1938,
secretary of the Leicester Secular Society, saying that "a severe cold on my chest" prevents his coming on 5th December, and as his subject "is not in lecture shape", he sends another "which can be read ... Although it has an entertaining text in the story" , it "has really serious significance in the part which the superstition about names has played in custom & belief", 2 sides 8vo., 5 Princes Street, E.C., 2nd December

(Edward, 1840-1930, Banker, Writer, Anthropologist and Rationalist)
Autograph Letter Signed to ‘My der Lucy’
starting “Do I remember the story of The Woman who had Genius? Can I ever forget it! I stuck it in the copy of your Last Touches given to you in - well, as you say, years do tell such tales! Tis one of the loveliest short takes that you ever wrote, it throbs with your nervous English. Your letter is deeply moving, what you say on human limitation and possibilities is all true. Of course, as Agnostics, we do not and cannot deny, neither but I don’t want to burn the first page of your letter because that is a valuable human document...”, 2 sides 8vo., Aldeburgh, 25th February
