TitleLetter from Daniel Moore to unknown correspondent, on the sending of dispatches of Franklin on his second Arctic land expedition
Date9 Feb 1826
DescriptionHe has not been unmindful of the day when dispatches to the north west were to be forwarded nor his kindnesses to him: at the Royal Society Captain Parry informed him the dispatches would not go until the 20th; he has been in touch with the leading figures of notable societies and others, but none have sent communications; it would be gratifying to know where the Captain is or likely to be when the dispatches reach him; great information on the progress of science is ascertained in various scientific journals and books which perhaps have been forwarded to the Captain; he has had only one letter from him but several have been written,
