Description
Would rather converse than write on the subject of her correspondent's letter; whether he could leave the vessel immediately would depend on Captain Forsyth's arrangements; does not intend to sell vessel at present; asks him to send his journal by John Smith whom she desires to see before his return to Lerwick; though overwhelmed by bitter disappointment at his premature return, rejoices that his visit to Cape Reilly produced important information [as to Sir John Franklin]; his chart of the ship's position very interesting.
