The Terror

June 3rd 1845.

Once more are we in the Broad Atlantic with a
favourable breeze for Davis Straits. I wrote to you a
few hurried lines from Scotch Coast to say how
slowly we have been getting on. Now all is
prosperous; therefore, all in high spirits. I like the
officers very much. The first Lieutenant is really
a very superior fellow, and the doctor - our only
married man - is a very nice, proper man.
Although, perhaps, we shall never be the same
intimate friends as I was with Robertson. Still,
I could not wish a better.
Kind Lady Franklin gave me such a splendid
Scotch muffling shawl or plaid. She is a dear,
good woman. Sir John amused some of us the
other day by reading from her note - "my love
to Captain Crozier, and my kind remembrances to
the rest of the officers"!
I regret to find from Sabine's* note that
dear Lady Ross has been poorly and that he
is rather uneasy about her. But when I last
saw him he was not concerned, but I was, as I
did not like her appearance. I had a kind,
affectionate note from her before I left.
I must say adieu. I will write by transport
- she will be home sometime Early in August.
With kind love to all.... Believe me,
my dear sisters,
Yours Ever
F. R. M. Crozier

* Sabine was a pet name for
Sir John Ross. Captain Crozier was
best man at his wedding.
