Faraday to Arthur-Auguste De La Rive   28 May 1825

R Institution | Sat Mor

Dear Sir

Mr Magrath the Gentleman whom I mentioned to you has undertaken to apply for tickets for yourself and Mr Marcet for admission to the Distribution of the Society of Arts on Monday at the Opera House1 and I trust you will receive them in the course of the day[.]

I have told Mr Magrath of my wish to introduce you to him and he will be very happy in your acquaintance. I have written a letter2 which however was scarcely necessary and you will find him at the Athenaeum No. 12 Waterloo Place any day between 10 & 4 or 5 o clk. If you could call today he would give you information about the distribution[.]

I am Dear Sir | Yours Very Truly | M. Faraday

M De La Rive | &c &c &c
