My Dear Mr. Murray,

I know not how to thank you as I ought for your very kind and valuable remembrances sent to Lady Franklin and my child. We take them with us, and shall be often reminded, by the perusal and sight of these books, of your friendship and regard. Lady Franklin would have written her own acknowledgment of your kindness if she had not been quite overpowered by the preparations for our voyage, and with the prospect of separating for so long a time from her father and family. She feels deeply the mark of kindness you have shown, and begs me to express her best thanks to you, with every good wish and kind regards to Mrs. Murray and your family. You may rely on my bearing in mind your recommendations of the gentleman you have mentioned in V[an] D[iemen’s] Land.
420 MEMOIRS OF JOHN MURRAY
I have placed your note with others that will receive my best attention and consideration after my arrival. Believe me, my dear Sir, with every kind regard and good wish for all your family,

Ever most truly yours,
John Franklin.

P.S.—If you should hear any news that would be interesting to us in a strange and distant land, I should be obliged by hearing it from you, or perhaps your son would allow me to ask the favour of an occasional communication from him. My letters will be forwarded by the Colonial Office. Kind regards to your son.
