June 20/80[?]

Leckhampton House,

Cambridge.

My dear Mr Wallace

Thank you for your words of sympathy, & of honour

to the departed.1 He would have deeply valued your approval.

How one feels the nothingness of all other questions beside the great[?] problem of after death.

If that is well, all is well.

I find strength in the hopes already acquired; tho I would they were stronger still. A severance[?] like this tries faith to its foundation.

Yours most truly

F W H Myers [signature]

Name of the departed.
