Catalogue Note
Anderson and Stewart canoed to the mouth of Back River where they found articles from Franklin's lost ships in the possession of Eskimos, and more on Montreal Island. This letter was read before the Royal Geographical Society, London, on 28 January 1856, and published in their Journal (vol.26 (1856), pp.18-25). This separately published account was probably printed at the expense of the author, and is VERY RARE.
