Faraday to Edward Magrath   2 September 1831

3 Priors Cottages | Hastings 2 Sept 1831

Dear Magrath

Here we are at our old Quarters and I find we do not know your Sister’s address[.] I write therefore by post & just in post time to ask you for it for I think we might as well know where each other resides[.]

We had a very wet day on our journey here but caoutchouc did good duty and we were both warm & dry. I do not think any body ever fares so well on a coach as we do. Others on the outside were wet & cold those within dry but so stewed up that I envied not their lot[.]

Mr Smith (Adams Smith¹) was on the coach with us[.] He is an M.R.I. and was going to his Brothers house at Robertsbridge (Benjamin Smith²)[.]

Mrs. Faraday send her remembrances[.]

I am Dear Magrath in haste | Truly Yours | M. Faraday

E Magrath

Address: Edw Magrath | Athenaeum | London.
