| Transcript | ELMWOOD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH MINISTER REV. JOHN C. CROZIER, M.A. TELEPHONE 666820 Copy of Last letter received by family of Captain F.R.M. Crosier 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. J. C. C. [John C. Crozier?] |
