Title
Letter from Richard J. Cyriax to Dr Gell, on sending article on Dr. Henry L. Smith
Date
6 Aug 1936
Description
Thanks for his kind letter; it is true his health broke down and he had to go to a sanatorium. He is sending a typed copy of his article on Dr. Smith, not having any reprints, with only a few verbal alterations from the printed versions. He was wondering whether Gell had any influence that would result in the publication of his book on Sir John Franklin's expedition, which could only be published by Methuen at the author's expense due to small demand. he has been to Gravesend to see the three windows erected by Lady Franklin in St Andrew's Mission Church to Seamen
