| Title | Letter from John Franklin to his sister-in-law Sarah Henrietta Kay, on not seeing her at the Athenaeum, with assorted family news |
| Date | 27 Jun 1829 |
| Description | Refers to her visit to the Atheneum: missed seeing her during the later part of the evening. Sorry he was prevented by business from seeing Mrs Kendall, but can be of assistance in sending letters to her son. Will send the requested portrait. Has only limited knowledge of Mary Booth's health, having heard she had had a return of fever, so Mary Anne's authority likely to be better than his. Date only given as Saturday 27 June; paper watermarked "29", which fits with calendar of dates. |
