Faraday to Charles Hatchett   15 May 1821

Royal Institution | May. 15th. 1821

Sir

Mr Willich1 has tried the stone paper2 I have endeavoured to make and I send herewith his impressions taken from it[.] He says he has no doubt that if it were allowed a month or two for the oil to dry that it would be as good as the French paper. I also send a piece of the paper[.] He wished me to ask when you would honor him with a visit to try the two papers that he might be sure to be at home[.]

I am Sir | Your Obliged Obedient Servant | M. Faraday

C. Hatchett Esq
