Title	Letter from John Franklin to his sister-in-law Sarah Henrietta Kay, on making arrangements for Admiralty business matters
Date	8 Nov 1827
Description	Happy to see five of her party for family dinner next Wednesday; all the naval officers at the Admiralty going to the Lord Mayor's dinner tomorrow, so he will be too; he asks her to send with bearer his full suit, which he nderstands was in Gower Street (including coat, white silk stockings, knee buckles), with the epaulettes orderd to be sent to his house tomorrow; this dressing is a great bore, but lucky he found out about it in time. Although he is aware she would like to speak to him about something, but his head and mind in too great a bustle to attend to anything other than professional business, with the Colonial Office and Admiralty giving him more than sufficient employment. He called today on the Flaxmans. His cold is better and sore throat gone.
