Scope and Content:
Written on black-bordered mourning stationery. Says that Calderon's last letter has been a comfort to him. Millais has promised to take the Chair (of the Academy?) for "our dear friend" (most likely Frederic Leighton, who had had to travel due to serious health problems). Says that he has been quite upset, and shocked over the news of the friend's illness, not having known how serious it was.
