Letter 3-Letter 4
Letter 3: In this short letter, Walton simply tells his sister that he and his men have started the voyage and everything is going according to plan thus far.
Letter 4: This letter is the only one of any real significance.� Walton and his men have by this time gone so far north that they have begun to encounter ice caps.� One day, during a windstorm, Walton says that they spied a huge figure in the distance traveling on a dogsled.� Later, to their amazement, they encountered another man stranded on a sledge that had floated towards the ship on a piece of ice.� Eventually this man comes aboard, only after finding out the ship is going north.� This, of course, confuses Captain Walton, who gets to know the man over the space of a few days.� Walton concludes his letter, saying that the man has agreed to tell him his story.� This is where the real narrative (from the perspective of the man-Frankenstein) begins.
