TitleLetter from Lady Franklin to Sarah Henrietta Kay, on the postponement of arrangements for the Kay family to see her step-daughter, Eleanor Isabella Franklin
Date[1830s]
DescriptionHer husband has referred her note on Eleanor to her, as should always be the case, the neglect of which will make her object to the child's cultivating the affections of her maternal relatives; they would have sent her today but for a prior engagement with Cartwright, who cannot see her until 5 o'clock; she could go tomorrow. They had been undecided on on their day of departure for Dover; she is sorry to hear so late of their kind invitation, but they intend going on Friday, so they have decided against attending their party.
Only signed Wednesday morning.
