Faraday to John Henry Vivian   24 January 1824

Royal Institution | Jany 24. 1824

Dear Sir

I received your Copper and have again examined it very carefully but found nothing new in it[.] It contains a little Tin - some Bismuth - Arsenic - a little Iron - are these sufficient to account for its bad qualities or not?

When you have occasion to write I should be glad to hear a little more about it. Whether it is common to all the Fowey ore or only to one particular parcel? and whether it still continues to plague you?

In haste I am Dear Sir, | Your obliged & faithful Servant | M. Faraday
