The addresses on Giordano Bruno have come to me—many
thanks—& are most welcome both for their own sakes and as a token of
your kind remembrance. I have read them with
great interest & they have helped me to understand something of Bruno's philosophy.
I trust the Spring finds you fairly well. I often feel you near me in your books, & get strength & joy from them.
I have had a sorrow lately
in the death of my elder sister. She had led a very active & useful life as a
clergyman's wife. I saw her a few days before her death & found her joyous, although
not through any false detachment from what had been dear to her in life. In a day or two
I go to visit my father who is in his ninety–first year &
who has been saddened by this loss.
