My Dear Sir,

Prof. Johnstone, ¹ a particular friend of mine, who has been so good as to be the bearer of the accompanying packet, is a Candidate for the vacant Chair of University College. ² If M^r Faraday ³ sh^d accept of it he will also be a candidate for the Institution ⁴ Chair, in which case your aid would be of great service to him. He is the finest Chemist of the present day in Great Britain and w^d do honour to the Institute.

I am in the greatest haste Ever Most Faithfully yrs
