Faraday to Hans Christian Oersted   6 September 1832

Royal Institution | September 6th 1832

My dear Sir

I hasten to write to you in return for your letter¹ which I received yesterday and to thank you most sincerely for your kindness and through you also to offer my respectful thanks to the Royal Society of Copenhagen for the high honor which it has done me of enrolling me among its members. Such testimonies of approbation are amongst those which I most highly prize and I hope by further exertion to convince the Society that its approbation has strong influence over me[.]

I am at present engaged in further Experimental researches in electricity²[.] I do not know where they may conduct me but I hope and believe they will ultimately prove of some interest - At least I feel that the results I already have have cleared up many of my old & confused notions & given me some new ones[.]

I am | My dear Sir | Most faithfully Yours | M. Faraday

Professor Oersted | &c &c &c
