Letter from Hannah Booth to her niece Eleanor Isabella Gell, following Eleanor's marriage, making reference to the fear that Lady Franklin's mind would not be calmed by Sir John Richardson's letters on Sir John Franklin's expedition Her son intends to call on her and be introduced his new cousin, her husband; he has gone up to town with their nephew Audley Booth to be fitted out to join the 73rd Regiment as an Ensign, and he will not have much time to spare; it is a comfort to hear of her happiness and she conveys their sincere prayers for its long continuation. She has heard nothing of or from her Mama since she left St George’s church. She fears there is no chance of her mind being calmed by the letters they have received from her dear son in law (Sir John Richardson – in pencil). She hopes that the present dark and mysterious position of her brother and his crew would be shortly revealed to them and that she be resigned to meet all that may come with truly Christian feelings. Aunt Wright is still surrounded by her afflicted children: Mary seems "quite stationary", Harriet very delicate, Arthur recovered from his illness and is about to return to Grantham until he goes to St. John’s College, Cambridge. 24 Jul 1849
