Charles Lyell to Faraday   April 18331

My dear Sir

I have sent this morning by the bearer a panorama of part of Etna 15 feet long by 8 in height to be put up in the theatre2. Ladders will be required & nails &c. Would you have the kindness to tell the porter to look at the size of it & to be ready when my man comes at 1/2 past 1 ok to put it up against the wall over the projecting stove[.]

Excuse the trouble & | believe me | most truly yours | Cha Lyell
