Faraday to Henry William Pickersgill   4 March 1833

R Institution | Mar 4 1833

My dear Sir

I have just informed the managers of your note & its contents[.] They have resolved to thank Lord Spencer1[.]

As to your own kindness we suppose that it will be more correct notwithstanding our warm feelings & private expressions to each other no[t] to thank you until the matter is so advanced that it can go before the Members at large2[.]

Ever Dear Sir | Most Sincerely Yours | M. Faraday

H.W. Pickersgill Jn | &c &c &c
