Title	Letter from Frances Woodward to Mrs P.V.W. Gell, on the whereabouts of the last letters of Sir John Franklin
Date	15 Aug 1949
Description	Typescript. Receipt of letter from Mr J. Curtis about whether Woodward would like copies of letters. Very disappointed and puzzled that last letter to Lady Franklin not among them. They would be grateful for copies of Franklin's last letters to Mr Gell, Eleanor Gell and his sister, as well as Richardson's letter to Mrs Gell, 19 Jan 1854. Not knowing whether Mr Curtis was still with Mrs Gell but hopes it will not be too much trouble to let them have copies. Her assumption that she will be allowed to quote transcripts in her book.
