Title	Letter from Jane Franklin to John Philip Gell, relating to unauthorised sale of South Australian properties by Mr Gowler
Date	14 Oct 1869
Description	His letter has turned up after all, and she returns his draft letter to Mr Gowler, which is very good and should be sent at once; Gell should be aware that she has not received remittances nor explanations for several years from Gowler, not believing he has written them or that they have all miscarried; he gave himself greater powers than she had intended, knowing he was "dealing with only a woman", as she wished to let Myponga rather than sell it and wanted it to be Gell's; the only way to prevent her feeling she has not done him an injury is to forfeit the £300 in favour of one of the boys, for whom he can invest the money; she advises him not to throw the Murray investment up and make Gowler pay his arrears, although she has been told it would the height of fully not to make Gowler responsible for his unwarrantable action and to make his take the consequences.
