Summary
Thanking him for his invitation but declining to submit an obituary ("a snippet of 3000 'popular' words") of his brother, William James, to the Century, noting "when I do address myself to it I hope to be able to treat seriously and for readers who shall really care to know something about it. I must reserve myself for that interesting work wholly."
