| Date | 3 Jan 1856 |
| Description | Opportunity to send by Dr Scoresby, called the Reverend Captain, who is going to Melbourne, to try the effect of the iron ship, the "Royal Charter" on the compasses; no time to say much as they are in the act of starting for Paris; reference to the Tasmanian subscriptions to the search expeditions; thanks for their sympathy: his last letter had made her rather dull with respects to William, whom she thinks had been troubled with public affairs; kindest regards to Clara and the"little one".
