Letters by John Irving (1834-1845)
Source. Bell, Benjamin. Lieut. John Irving, R.N. of H.M.S. “Terror,” in Sir John Franklin’s Last Expedition to the Arctic Regions: A Memorial Sketch with Letters (Edinburgh: David Douglas, 1881)
A note. All letters, excerpted or complete, have not been altered from their versions in Bell’s A Memorial Sketch unless to add an indicator of removed text (that wasn’t indicated by Bell) as “(…)”. It’s unclear whether some letters are excerpted or complete, no marks have been made within the letter about that.
