Faraday to Edward Magrath   26 August 1825

York | Friday Aug 26.

Dear Magrath

I have been such a man of business whilst in Scotland¹ that I have no time or spirits to write except upon absolutely essential matters. I was never fagged harder at home than I have been during this trip - However it is now over and we shall soon see you again. We are at this present speaking or writing at York - we are going to see the Cathedral &c and in the Evening (for we are obliged to arrange so) shall be on the road again. I expect we shall be in town on Monday next and I should be much obliged if you would send a note to Mr. Batsford² at the Shakespeare Printing Office, Cleveland row, St James’ simply informing him that that will be the time of our return[.] Perhaps if you had an opportunity also Gillies³ could let Mr Griffiths⁴ at the Institution also know but that is of little consequence[.]

On Tuesday or Wednesday next at latest we shall meet till when as always - I am dear Edward | Yours faithfully | M. Faraday

Remember me to Nicol⁵ Hennel⁶ &c. &c.

Mrs. Faraday’s remembrances to you.
