Faraday to E. Moran   12 April 18341

Royal Institution | 12 April 1834

Sir

I am sorry to have to confirm in reply to your enquiry that Mr Fuller is dead. He died yesterday afternoon but I was purposely kept in ignorance of it until the close of a Lecture which I had to deliver when I received the note upon the authority of which I informed our members of the Event2[.] We have great reason to remember him at the Royal Institution for his extreme kindness & liberality towards us and our cause[.]

I am | Sir | Your Obedient Servant | M. Faraday

E. Moran Esq | &c &c

See Lit.Gaz., 19 April 1834, p. 282 for a short account of Faraday's Friday Evening Discourse of 11 April 1834 on "THe definite action of electricity". This also notes the circumstances of Faraday's announcement of Fuller's death.
