Former Reference	D3311/116/4
Title	Letter from Julia Mackintosh to Eleanor Isabella Franklin
Date	20 Oct [1847]
Description	Glad to hear of safe arrival; worried that Eleanor is too reliant on God's will and could be subject to disappointment: hopes that she will spend winter out of England; news about the political situation in Italy, with the royal family being at Lucca, the Princess having a miscarriage after being told by the Grand Duke of the change of government, the King of Naples being at Porlice, the insurgent holding Messina, Catania and Trapani in Sicily; undecided about future travel plans, but it is too late for the West Indies . Letter only dated 20 Oct, but the events in Italy suggest the year 1847.
