Second Earl Spencer to Faraday   18 September 1832

Spencer House 18 Sep | 1832

Dear Sir

I called at the Royal Institution yesterday in hopes of finding you to have some conversation on the subject of Mr Pickersgill's Offer respecting my Portrait¹.

I am in Town for only a short Time, but it might perhaps be possible to make some arrangement, if Mr Pickersgill is in London at present, by which the kind and flattering Wishes of yourself and the other Members who have expressed them might be carried into effect with the least trouble to all concerned[.]

I will take an opportunity of calling again in Albemarle Street today between 12 & 1 for the chance of finding you, and am your very obliged | humble servant | Spencer

M. Faraday Esq

Address: M. Faraday Esq | &c &c &c | Royal Institution | Albemarle Street
