Eleventh Duke of Somerset to Faraday   7 February 1828

Park Lane 7th Feby. 1828

Dear Sir

There were two very fine gongs at my house for many years. I kept them for Sir Stamford Raffles during his last voyage to India. But last year I returned them to Lady Raffles. I will see what I can do as to obtaining the loan of them for the Royal Institution¹.

I remain Dear Sir | Your obedient Servant | Somerset

To Mr. Faraday
