TitleLetter from Catherine Rawnsley to her cousin Eleanor Isabella Gell, including on letters written to Eleanor by Sir John Franklin
Date27 Apr [1854]
DescriptionEnclosing letter of Eleanor's father to Emma Franklin's father; Emma has a one-sided view of her father's character, and now she is among his family, it is only fair to let her see all was not satisfactory or agreeable; Catherine has four letters of Sir John, which Eleanor can read; she would not give them away as autographs to be cut out; her "chicks" are all well, though not equal to Eleanor's in weight and size. Only dated 27 April; years 1853 or 1854 in pencil.
