Title	Letter from John Franklin to his sister-in-law Sarah Henrietta Kay, on the writing of his narrative for the second Arctic land expedition, in which Mrs Kay is involved in the checking of prints of errata
Date	24 May [1828]
Description	Has blisters from a new boot so has not called on her. Asks how she is getting on with the Errata in relation to the Narrative, with more sheets for her to look at; he would like to have the Errata complete by Tuesday, as he shall come to town with the express purpose of sending the list of plates and the Errata to the printers, the only things he has not got; they will no doubt be engaged at Greenwich on Tuesday, but will send James for them on Monday. Enjoyed exhibition yesterday and music at Duchess of Northumberland's yesterday. Understands that the Zoological Garden are closed to visitors at present, but will make further enquiries about it and the Museum when in town. Dated only 24 May, but context of wriitng narrative makes it 1828.
