Royal Institution | May 13th 1831
Dear Sir
I am forced to write a hasty reply to your kind letter2 but I would rather do that than by delay run the risk of thanking you unhandsomely for Your communication & present. I am very much indebted to you for both & beg to offer you a copy of my second Edition in return3[.]
To Mr Wood4 I shall shew any attention I can find time for but I am sorry to say I am very limited in that necessary element of life & society - or I would not write to you so briefly. But my duties are so many & health not very good[.]
I am Dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | M. Faraday
Proff Griscom | &c &c &c
