Title	Letter from Sir John Franklin to his daughter Eleanor Isabella Franklin, during his travels in Tasmania
Date	4 Apr 1842
Description	He only has a few minutes to write while the party is packing to move to the next station; they are anxious to get the view from what is called the Fatigue Hill; the scenery around Lake St Clair is the prettiest.

He has heard Eleanor has been with Miss Williamson to Mr Barkers, and he hopes she can stay at New Norfolk as long as she can.
