Faraday to Benjamin Hawes   early June 1828

R Institution | Tuesday Evening

Dear Sir

Herewith you have proofs but let me have them back as soon as possible[.]

All you refer to in your last shall be attended to[.]

The only thing requiring a direct answer relates to a [word illegible] paragraph relative to the subject of the 13th. This paragraph may not go in at present but as the subjects are always announced a week before hand the subject & its announcement then becomes public knowledge & you or the papers or any body else may use it we cannot help it - I suppose that week will be notice enough.

I am not as yet sure whether it¹ will be the 13 or 20th of June[.] Mr Brande has not settled about the Water subject and we suspend decision for him²[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

B Hawes Esq | &c &c
