Faraday to Charles Brand1   24 June 1828

Royal Institution, | June 24th, 1828.

Sir,

On examining the second bottle of water which you left with me, I find it in every respect like the former2, except that it contains a larger proportion of common salt, and indeed of saline matter generally; but their nature, as well as that of the gases, is the same as for the former water.

I am, Sir, | Your obedient servant, | (signed) M. Faraday.

Lieut. Charles Brand, R.N. | &c. &c. &c.
