Faraday to Benjamin Abbott   29 April 1815

Dear Ben

I received your note yesterday but too late to answer it then this however will reach you in time to obviate your Sisters scruples and prevent the bad consequences which they would have given rise to - I hope we shall see you all three in good health tomorrow evening at my Brother’s - I have not been able to get so far as your house yet but shortly expect to know my time & hours & then can make promises & arrangements with more confidence[.] I have but little time to spare at present though I have nothing important to fill it[.] I intend to hear Mr Brande’s Lecture to day at the Institution & will tell you tomorrow evening what it is & how made out till then[.]

I remain as Ever | Yours | M. Faraday

Saturday | 10’oclk | 29 April

Endorsed: 1815 almost certainly the date[.] Content strongly suggests shortly after his return to England[.]
