Humphry Davy to Faraday   22 August 1821

Will you be so good as to put the inclosed letter into the post & say to Mr Batsford1 that my paper shall be sent in a few days. I had enquired Mr Combe2 said it would not be wanted till Sepr. At all events the printing of the Transactions need not be delayed, as it may be placed amongst the last or the last in the volume3. It is of no importance where it stands. - H.D.
