Former ReferenceD3311/29/2
TitleLetter from Lady Franklin to Sarah Henrietta Kay, on postponing the visit to be made by Eleanor Isabella Franklin to see the Kay family
Date[2 Jun 1836]
DescriptionShe had forgotten the date when she had proposed Eleanor coming over was actually her birthday; as they must keep her at home tomorrow, as it is the last day before her father sets off to Lincolnshire; she will come on the Saturday, unless she hears to the contrary.
No date is given but the reference to Eleanor's birthday suggests the note has been written on 2 June, probably in 1836, as Franklin did go to Lincolnshire in early June that year
