Title	Letter from John Philip Gell to his son John Franklin Gell, on the historical context as to who found the North West Passage
Date	28 Mar 1873
Description	They all enjoyed their visit thanks to bright weather and his hospitality; Mary thinks Cambridge is better than Oxford; Franklin is on the Charter House Committee, it involves a larger subscription which he must put on J.P.G.'s account; Franklin's Cambridge is not the same as his now, being full of old faces, half of them being dead or half gone away, as well as there being a new court for Franklin to live in, just as J.P.G.'s father found the new court of Trinity built for him near his old quarter in Neville's Court. Lady Franklin would like to see Franklin on Monday for her last evening party at Gore Lodge, and mary will be grateful for a protector.
