Royal Institution | March 13. 1826

My dear Sir

Again you have called and we not at home we reached home a few minutes after you had left. Mrs. Faraday asks you would come & take tea with us next Friday Evening and then I wish that afterwards you would join our Friday Evening Conversatzione in the Library & Lecture room¹[.] I think you would find amusement there and if you were to bring your book perhaps we might pick up a few autographs. Miss Deacon² has the one I had and to which I am sorry to say I have made very few additions <cross>[.] Just drop us a line & say you will be here on Friday tea 1/2 past 5 o clk - Conversatzione &c 9 till 11 or just as you please as to time[.]

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