- Scope and Content:
- Written by Mary Hunt Millais on behalf of her father. Sent from 2 Palace Gate, Kensington. Mary remarks that her father sends a message that he wrote on a slate. She says that he is a "little better" and would like to see Calderon. Writes that he is "getting used to the tube" (from his tracheotomy) and has no pain. Millais's message is written on black-bordered paper (while Mary's is not), although the border is thinner than with his previous letters, suggesting that he has come out of deepest mourning. Millais's message concerns Calderon's speech-making abilities. Discusses the dean's difficulty with a monument on a wall (perhaps to Leighton) and remarks that his throat is constantly uncomfortable.
