An Unpublished Letter of Sir John Franklin [Sir John Franklin's last letter to his friend and comrade, Dr (later Sir John) Richardson, is in the possession of Lt.-Col. P. V. W. Gell, of Hopton Hall, Wirksworth, Derbyshire. Colonel Gell, who is a great-grandson of Franklin, has kindly supplied the Institute with a copy and given permission for it to be published in the Polar Record . It throws much light on Franklin's plans for his final expedition and we are grateful for the opportunity to give it publication.]
