Lord Ashley to Robert Peel   2 May 1835

Private | Admiralty¹ | May 2

My dear Sir Robert

Will you excuse my breaking in upon your leisure by recalling to your memory your promised letter to Mr. Faraday?²

He has heard of your kind disposition towards him, & in consequence of it, called on me yesterday to request that I would convey to you his gratitude, & the deep sense he entertains of the honorable mark of esteem you wished to bestow upon him.

If you could send either to me or to him one line to express your appreciation of his eminent sciences, he would, I am sure, be highly gratified.

Very truly yours | Ashley

His address is to | M. Faraday Esq | Royal Institution | Albemarle Street

Rt Honble | Sir R. Peel
