Title
Letter from Lady Franklin to unknown correspondent with the first name William
Date
3 Jan 1856
Description
Opportunity to send by Dr Scoresby, called the Reverend Captain, who is going to Melbourne, to try the effect of the iron ship, the "Royal Charter" on the compasses; no time to say much as they are in the act of starting for Paris; reference to the Tasmanian subscriptions to the search expeditions; thanks for their sympathy: his last letter had made her rather dull with respects to William, whom she thinks had been troubled with public affairs; kindest regards to Clara and the"little one". Paper black-edged.
