Humphry Davy to Faraday   9 August 1820

Rokeby Aug 9

Merely free the foreign letter as much as is necessary to make it pass.

Dear Mr Faraday,

I shall be much obliged to you if you will free the inclose letter & send that address to Mr Moore. Should any letters arrive for me either at the Royal Institution or at my house be so good as to put them under cover to Wm Rose Esq, Melrose NB1.

Any thing will go free under two ounces.

I am Dear Mr Faraday | very truly yours | H. Davy
