- Scope and Content:
- Written on black-bordered mourning stationery. Millais says that he has been in great distress since he last saw Calderon, given that he has been to a specialist and received bad news about his voice. Fears he will not be able to take the Chair position for Leighton because his voice might give out entirely. Directs Calderon (underlines the message) not to bother the President with this news, but says that he hopes some other member of the Royal Academy can be "held in reserve." Has a doctor's appointment the following week, describes his treatment at home. Says he has lost sleep about the situation.
