Title	Letter from John Franklin to his friend John Richardson, including on meeting Sir John Ross
Date	[1835]
Description	Has just seen Mr Hay: Franklin's letter and Richartdson's enclosure had been forwarded to the Treasury with recommendation that money should be granted. Has seen Sir John Ross twice after Richardson left: he never mentioned the review, spoke of publishing an appendix next September; Franklin asks what Richardson makes of Ross’s indifference to the review; Franklin thinks Ross looks pale and has no doubt he is anxious. [Dated only Tuesday afternoon: context suggests 1835]
