Faraday to Charles Babbage   18 January 1834

R Institution | 18 Jany 1834

My dear Sir

I send the papers1 for Cambridge hoping they will not be too much trouble to you. If left at the Rooms of the Society2 I hope that Whewell, Cumming3, Willis4 or some good natured friend will take his one & help the rest on[.]

I also send one for Sir J. Herschell[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
