Faraday to Hans Christian Oersted   November 1830

Dear Sir

I put a few words into this letter1 to renew your recollection of me and to express my hope of being able to pursue science as energetically as ever[.] Our Managers are anxious to have communications from such men as yourself and think it would often be very important if papers were published simultaneously in distant countries[.] Thus if you were about to publish a paper in Germany or elsewhere & would send us a copy of it a month or two before hand we could have it translated & published here at the same time as with you. In such case our Managers would consider the paper as original and compensate it as such.

I am Dear Sir | Most faithfully your obedient Servant | M. Faraday


Address: H.C. Oersted | Secretary | Royal Society | Copenhagen

This was enclosed with a printed letter, dated November 1830, from Edmund Robert Daniell to Oersted asking officially for his help with the new Journal.
