Faraday to William Brockedon   22 June 1830

R Institution | Tuesday Evening

Dear Brockedon

Do not trouble yourself about the report1[.] I will write a few words or Mr Brande will.

I hope however that the subject in an expanded form will constitute a paper for the first No of the New Journal2 & that you can let me have it in about a month from this time[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Dr. Paris’ son a young boy3 has been amusing himself by making some models in red & black sealing wax of men & soldiers on horse back[.] They appear to me to be very ingenious & good[.] I think you would like to see them and the Doctor would be glad to shew them to you if you pass his house perhaps you will call | MF
