TitleLetter from Jane Franklin to John Philip Gell, relating to unauthorised sale of South Australian properties by Mr Gowler
Date12 Oct 1869
DescriptionShe left hastily for North Creake and failed to bring his last note and other papers; she will return his proposed letter to Mr Gowler, which was very much to the purpose and better than the first; she considers retaining the property the best thing he can do, if freed from £300 mortgage by her; it would not be wise to get rid of the land before finding its true value, nor keep on paying interest; she is perplexed and anxious about Hall's reports, as it seems almost to require another expedition to recover buried records; her wish for them to be in New York to question Hall, but she would not be willing to impose on the Grenna;s in their present unhappy state,
