Humphry Davy to Faraday   18 July 1821

Northampton | Wednesday

My dear Faraday

You will find by my troubling you immediately that I do not consider you kind offer of doing any thing for me in my absence, merely complimentary.

My servant has left my game certificate somewhere in my House. He has written about it ask for it for me, & be so good as to keep it till Mr Hamilton returns to the foreign office when you can inclose it in a letter with a label upon it for a frank merely sent up to his room to be franked & sent off with his letters¹. My address till Augt 7 Post Office Portpatrick Portpatrick Ireland.

Will you be so good as to order Jones² if He has not taken my dress clothes to Mr Jackson³ Newman Street as I ordered him on Thursday to take them immediately & to bring them back in four or five days.

I hope you continue quite well & do much during the summer & I wish you in your new state all that happiness which I am sure you deserve.

I am My dear Mr | Faraday | Your sincere friend | H. Davy
