Title	Last page of letter from Jane Franklin to Sarah Henrietta Kay, on the possibility of her step-daughter Eleanor Franklin being brought to see Mrs Kay and the reasons why it had not happened so far
Date	[1829]
Description	Her hope that it will not be long before their child can be brought to see Mrs Kay, having a little cough at present; she is treated like a hothouse plant, never going out of doors or being allowed to run up and down the cold staircase without being enveloped in shawl; treatment approved of by the child's father, who thought she should not go out all winter; she bears it better than she did in Devonshire Street, where the small rooms were oppressive. Jane is anxious, as this is the child's first winter in London; the date of her sister's marriage is uncertain; it is possible Eleanor may be given the fresh air of Brighton, so she may bring her in the carriage, if available. No date is given, but the reference to the daughter's first London winter may make it early 1829;
