Dear Sir, - Tit for tat, says the proverb; and it is my earnest wish to make that proverb good in two instances. First, you favoured me with a note a short time since, and I hereby return the compliment; and, secondly, I shall call “tit” upon you next Sunday, and hope you will come and tea “tat” with me the Sunday after. In short, the object of this note is to obtain your company, if agreeable to your convenience and health (which I hope is perfectly recovered long before this), the Sunday after next.
This early application is made to prevent prior claims; and I propose to call upon you this day week to arrange what little circumstances may require it.
In hope that your health is as well as ever, and that all other circumstances are agreeable, I subjoin myself, Sir, yours, | M. Faraday
