Faraday to Isaac Lyon Goldsmid   15 November 1828¹

Royal Institution | Nov. 15. 1828

Dear Sir

I am very much obliged to you for your invitation but partly from indisposition & partly occupation I have been obliged to decline all invitations for nearly a twelvemonth past. Fortunately I am better in health now than I have been but my business (which cannot be performed by others for me) is so much in heaps that I am not able to avail myself of your kindness.

I am dear Sir | Your Obliged & faithful servant | M. Faraday

I.L. Goldsmid Esq | &c &c
