Faraday to John William Parker   3 January 1831

R Institution | Jany 3. 1830 [sic]

Dear Sir

Tomorrow (Tuesday) Committee meet on printing the Journal. If you were this way & could assist us with your advice at 1/4 or 1/2 past 1 o clk it would be very valuable1[.]

It is principally about what you would recommend for wood engraving & what for copper that we shall want you. I am afraid we shall have too much matter2[.]

Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Mr Parker


Address: Mr. Parker | Clowes Printing Office | Duke St | Stamford Street
