Title	Letter from Eleanor Anne Franklin to her sister Sarah Henrietta Kay, during her visit to meet her in-laws in Lincolnshire, including on her husband's apparent dislike of Sarah Henrietta
Date	2 Oct 1823
Description	Saved the letter writing for John Franklin's absence. John and Miss Franklin were worried that the air in Ingoldmells wouldn't suit Eleanor and she was indeed taken ill past a certain village in Lincolnshire. Going in the afternoon to Mr. Wright's - the son of Mr. Pennington's sister - who may also have mentioned Eleanor to Henrietta. Apologises to Henrietta for any bad feeling that arose from their visit to London. Should 'praise Sarah and not blame me'. Party was very much increased by unexpected guests. A wonder that their provisions held out. Sure that any impression of dislike Henrietta received from John is a mistake, but got the idea that she was watching him whilst in her house. Knows nothing of 'the box'.
