•Captain Robert Walton is writing to his ‘dear sister’ (p. 15), Margaret Saville, about his forthcoming expedition to the North Pole.
•Walton reassures his sister that his trip will be successful.
•He imagines the Pole will be a beautiful region of ‘eternal light’ (p. 15).
•Walton is excited by the prospect that the North Pole is unknown and undiscovered and hopes that he will be able to discover ‘the secret of the magnet’ (p. 16).
•He reminisces on his early years that were spent passionately reading his uncle’s collection of seafaring books and poetry. Six years ago and against his father’s dying wish, he decided to become a seafarer when he inherited the fortune of his cousin.
•Walton reflects that his spirits are sometimes ‘depressed’ (p. 17). He knows he will need to show great strength of character to maintain his own spirits and his crew’s morale.
•He tells his sister about some more practical details of his voyage relating to modes of transport, the weather and suitable clothing.
•Walton says that he does not intend to sail until the end of June but cannot tell his sister when he will return.
