Faraday to Alfred Ainger   14 April 1828

Royal Institution | April. 14. 1828

Dear Ainger

Are your illustrations for an evening on escapements & pendulums ready? On returning from the country I find that Brockedon fails me for next Friday night and so apply to you at very short notice[.] We want a man who speaks sense and has an opinion of his own to open the second part of our season¹.

I hope you will send me an answer back by post saying you will take the evening and letting me have the title of the subject.

We are very glad to hear Mrs. Ainger² is recovering our best respects to her.

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

A Ainger Esq | &c &c

Write me an answer immediately whichever way you decide.

Address: A Ainger Esq | 10 Doughty Street | Gray’s Inn Road
