| Title | Letter from J.W. Carter to Sir John Franklin, commending Edward Singleton |
| Date | 28 Jul 1842 |
| Description | So many years have passed since they were messmates as lieutenants of the Bedford, that he has probably forgotten his existence; he takes the liberty of introducing to his notice Edward Singleton, an ensign in the 51st Regiment heading to that part of the world in case the chance of service should bring him under his government: his family has asked him to do so, and he can answer for him as a very gentlemanly and principled lad, having known him almost from birth. He himself has lately been paid off the Winchester, having served in it and the Vestal for over 4 years on the North American and West India State. |
