Someone has said ingeniously of you and me, that we are the two roots of the same quadratic equation; and it is to me curious and amusing to find how much I am sure to agree with you in spite of an utterly different conclusion. I mean I often agree far more with you in numerous details of thought or sentiment, than with hosts of others, whose conclusion is the same as mine. We met Dean Francis Close last summer at Freshwater. . . . He was very friendly and asked a great deal about you; and was not a little diverted when I said I thought my differences from you almost always turned on matters of fact, when in appearance we agreed as to sentiment and even in principle. We seem to look out on different worlds. Of course we fall in with totally different circles.
