Thanking him for returning the manuscript (of Rossetti's Italian poetry translations) with marginal remarks, noting that he passed it to Ruskin. Discussing the attempts to salvage the engraving (for Allingham's poem "The Maids of Elfen Mere") and asking about Millais's design, hoping that it is as good as his picture at the Royal Academy and recalling that "he had an awful row with he hanging committee, who had put it above the level of the eye, but J.E.M. yelled for several hours, and threatened to resign, till they put it right." Mentioning the works of other artists on view at the Royal Academy and discussing at length Leighton's painting. Reporting that MacCracken attempted to sell his pictures at Christie's, and further discussing other artists.
