TitleLetter from Frederick Gell to his prospective sister-in-law Eleanor Isabella Franklin, including reference to expeditions being sent to search for her father
Date1 Feb 1848
DescriptionWishes to know how things finally stood with V.D.L. [Van Deimen's Land]College before the bishop's departure; wants to know whether Mr White was to be the Warden after all and who is to be the Sub-Warden; it must be gratifying for her and Lady Franklin to know pains being taken to search for her father, albeit mingled with anxiety; he has heard he might be invited to stay with her at Harrow; he has left Brighton and is staying with Archdeacon Hare's curate, Venables, hoping to remain at Dallington until end of next week.
