Faraday to Heinrich Gustav Magnus   c September 1835¹

R Institution | Thursday Morning

Dear Sir

My assistant at Woolwich Mr Marsh² will be happy to show you & our friends the Arsenal but as he has engagements I must explain a few matters. He says the best hour is from & after 1 o clk either tomorrow Friday or Monday. On Saturday there are no men at work[.] If you appoint to be at the Arsenal gate on either of those days at any hour you may chose he will either be there or have a man ready to send for him on your arrival. But to save his time I think it would be proper for you to fix your hour and then send him a note by the 2ny Post saying what that hour will be[.] His address is Gas works, Woolwich[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

M Magnus | &c &c &c
