Faraday to Edward Magrath   February 1831

R Institution | Thursday

Dear Magrath

With your packet I received some queries signed H but whether from Mr Hawkins1 or Mr Hamilton2 or who I do not know. I enclose something like an answer.

Can you let me have a copy of the data of the last Expt and of much of the former as Mr Daly3 has?

Can you also let me have the books & other things here?

Can you tell me how I can get Cruikshanks4 books of humour5 at something like trade price[.] I think you said something about Ackerman[n]6 &c &c[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
