Title
Letter from Richard J. Cyriax to Dr Gell on the visit by Sir John Franklin to Southam [Warwickshire]
Date
26 Apr 1935
Description
He has followed up every clue; he has collected much information on the Dispensary Ear and Eye Infirmary and other matters connected with Dr. H.L.Smith, and he hopes to write an article on it; it will only briefly mention Sir John Franklin's visit, as it is not really of medical interest; what he wrote in his letter of 26 march he has since found is erroneous and should be ignored. He encloses a postcard of the Pick Hotel [Greenhithe] where Sir John Franklin lsept before the "Erebus" and "Terror" sailed.
