| Title | Letter from Mary Frances Gell to her brother Henry Willingham Gell, relating to the publication of the book by Edith Gell on Eleanor Anne Porden |
| Date | 9 Feb [1932] |
| Description | Somewhat disgusted with note in Murray's publication list; Lady Whitehead visited and family thought the book was a mistake; revival of Franklin interest has brought to mind as to what right Edith has to purely Franklin property; years ago she had copied settlement made between Lady Franklin and the mother, and her opinion was that as children they ought to have taken shares of the property and not all passed to Philip; does not want to see property go to "aliens", so she raises the question; the money was divided in a different settlement, the marriage one. Mildred sent her a cutting from the Christ Church Daily Press about a document found at Wellington, New Zealand on the Franklin search; she has written to the editor to find out more. |
