Ever your loving.

My dear Millais,[95]
I received the enclosed letter yesterday, and I have, perhaps unjustly—some vague suspicions of it. As I know how faithful and zealous you have been in all relating to poor Leech, I make no apology for asking you whether you can throw any light upon its contents.
You will be glad to hear that Charles Collins is decidedly better to-day, and is out of doors.
Believe me always, faithfully yours.
Mr. Serle.
Gad's Hill, Wednesday, 29th July, 1868.
