Title	Letter from Sir John Franklin to his sister Hannah Booth, on the death of Henry Booth and assorted other family matters
Date	25 Feb 1838
Description	Sad to hear of the sudden passing of Henry Booth. Thought that he would have outlived John but 'the appointments of God are inscrutible'. Hopes that his righteous existence will give comfort to those that lost him. Trusts that he has left Hannah's husband enough of his property to make them comfortable. Eleanor's health is good and her affectionate nature continues. Going on a short trip soon. Mention of his appointment of a Mr Evans but the Secretary of State had restored someone else to the post. Postmarked 17 July 1838.
