Anthony Carlisle1 to Faraday   30 November 18322

Friday

Dear Sir

My public duty as an Examiner for Diplomas at the College of Surgeons is generally on Fridays, and we sit from six until after 12 - occasionally we miss a day but that always depends on the number of Candidates registered on the Books for each meeting.

If you still think my Discourse3 more suited for the Evening I will endeavour to find out a probable vacant Friday, but I doubt whether I could assure your Committee more than a fortnight before the time, & that notice might not accord with your arrangements. I will write to you or see you on Monday next when I hope to be able to speak definitely.

Very truly yours | An. Carlisle

Mr Faraday
