PARRY
(Sir William E., 1790-1855, Admiral, Arctic Explorer)
Fine long Autograph Letter Signed to “My dear Anne”
saying that “So far as a lame hand (not a lame excuse!) will allow me, I hasten to say that, unless you wish your dear Boy to remain in India - i.e. n some other ship there (which I should not suppose you do) I would advise you to do nothing till he comes to England. An application so long before-hand could do no good even if the present Ministers remain in so long; because no arrangement can well be made for this purpose months before-hand. In fact, I should not, if it were my own case, ‘agitate’ in the matter till near the time of Cleopatra’s return - and then, if Lord Jn Russell is in, a word from Edward would secure what you want, which is no very great favour after all. If, however, you fear losing your present interest, the only thing will be to ask at once to have him transferred to the flag-ship in the E. Indies (the Hastings) which I suppose will stay out the Admiral’s (Austen’s) full time - namely 2 years more. So you must judge for yourself between these 2 plans. We cordially rejoice at your good accounts of Tom - Lucy is especially interested in all you say for she is very fond of your boy and I do not wonder...”, 3 sides 8vo., Haslar, Gosport, 11th February
