Faraday to William Ogle Carr   24 November 18281

Royal Institution | Nov. 24. 1828

Dear Sir

Do not think I have forgotten you[;] I have been very busy[.]

I send a paper which if filled up by your Father will make you at once a Life Subscriber and as such you will have all the privileges of a subscriber2[.]

If after that you wish to become a member then the second paper should be filled up (as I have represented in pencil) and you go to ballot3[.] On being elected you have to pay only fifteen guineas instead of the fifty five or sixty I forget which that is to be paid by a member not having been previously a life subscriber[.]

I am in hopes you will return me both the papers filled up this week that I may put them in at the Monthly meeting of Members on Monday next by which a month in time will be saved[.]

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

W. Ogle Carr Esq
