| Title | Letter from John Franklin to his sister-in-law Sarah Henrietta Kay, on arrangements for social occasions, including meeting the Griffins in the New Year |
| Date | 31 Dec [1827] |
| Description | Reports improved health of "my little lassy"; Mrs Booth and Mary returned with him and intend to visit her at Greenwich in the next day or two. Will invite Parry to dine on Friday next the 4th, and to meet the Griffins; invitations to the Kays to join their party: invitation cannot extend to dinner for Mary Anne and Emily in view of shortage of space, but hope they will come with the young sailor in the evening and bring a little music. Also mentions Captain Foster, Captain Beaufort and the Elliots.
Only the date 31 Dec is given, but the references to Parry and Franklin's daughter suggest 1827, which fits with the calendar of dates. |
