Faraday to John Gage   10 March 1832

<q>R Institution | Mar 10 1832

My dear Sir

The matter is most likely of vegetable origin but whether from flowers or not I cannot say. Not I should think from light succulent flowers like our modern nosegays but it might be from those more woody & containing more solid matter.

Ever Dear Sir | Truly Yours | M. Faraday
