| Title | Letter from William Parry to Eleanor Isabella Gell, including on the revelations made by a clairvoyante, which he believes is "mere delusion" |
| Date | 5 Dec 1849 |
| Description | Enclosing a copy of his report; he did not answer her about the clairvoyante, as he was more occupied with the realities to give too much thought to what he believes mere delusion, the impression he got from the accounts of Miss Cracroft; everything was sent back to Miss Cracroft, so there is nothing he can give her, and he cannot recall the details of supposed revelations; he cannot remember whether Mr Majendie's paper came to him direct or from Miss C., but it was returned in a day or two; he saw Lady Franklin and Miss C. in Spring Gardens on Friday. PS He has heard the sad news of Charles Stanley at Hobart, a week or two before his father. |
