Title	Pages from the journal "The Medium and Daybreak", an article on the Sir John Franklin "Revelation"
Date	14 Jun 1889
Description	Pages 371-374; the article is on pages 372-373, referring to the "revelation" in a little book recently published by Rev. J. Henry Skewes concerning the spirit of a dead four-year old child Louise Coppin (known as Weesy) revealing the position of the missing Arctic expedition in 1849, consisting of copies of two letters by W.
