Title	Letter from John Franklin to his friend John Richardson, including on publication of book and sailing of expedition of John Ross that day
Date	19 May [1829]
Description	Reports discussion with Murray about details of publication, including price, number of copies and immediate copies for the King and Lord Goderich. Murray saw that the text was missing Parry’s title. Reports visit to Mrs Lyon: compliments her son’s daughter . Complaints at the meanness of the Brazilian Mining Company toward her son. Dined with Mr & Mrs Cheales, the Kays and Back. Mrs Franklin not able to accept an invitation to Chatham: about to go to Oxford and Nottingham. Heard from Davies Gilbert that Ross was to sail that day: aggrieved that Ross had not informed him as he had obtained letters for Ross from Hudson’s Bay Company and the Russian ambassador. Letter dated only 19 May and postmark is not totally clear, but reference to Sir Edward Parry's title confirms it as 1829.
