| Title | Letter from Jane Franklin to John Philip Gell, relating to unauthorised sale of South Australian properties by Mr Gowler |
| Date | 12 Oct 1869 |
| Description | She left hastily for North Creake and failed to bring his last note and other papers; she will return his proposed letter to Mr Gowler, which was very much to the purpose and better than the first; she considers retaining the property the best thing he can do, if freed from £300 mortgage by her; it would not be wise to get rid of the land before finding its true value, nor keep on paying interest; she is perplexed and anxious about Hall's reports, as it seems almost to require another expedition to recover buried records; her wish for them to be in New York to question Hall, but she would not be willing to impose on the Grenna;s in their present unhappy state, |
