| Description | Sorry that Eleanor did not call to see her en route to Winchester; circumstances mitigated against it; Captains Austin and Ommanney are still in town because the Committee of Enquiry is still sitting; has told Captain Pullen that Eleanor would be pleased to see him if he has time; hoping to see Mr Hooper who is taking command of the ‘Excellent’; Captain Chads has said “they must send another expedition, the press are so violent”; wants Eleanor to stay with them next time rather than at "the George" as they are near the trains; love to Mrs [Isabella] Cracroft and Catherine; she sent a litle money for the "S.P.G.". |
