Faraday to Lord Holland   1 December 1835

Royal Institution | 1 Dec 1835

My Lord

I have seen Dr Holland who suggests to me to write to Your Lordship and say that he thinks no steps of a public nature ought to be entered upon without Lord Melbourne's consent since it might lead to discussions of which we cannot see the end. If Lord Melbourne should be of a different opinion then on communicating with Dr. Holland, he with Sir James South will be able to take such steps as may under existing circumstances appear to be most expedient[.]

I have the honor to be | My Lord | Your Lordships | Most Obedient Humble servant | M. Faraday

The Right Honourable | Lord Holland | &c &c &c &c

Endorsed by Faraday: Copy of mine to Lord Holland | 1 Dec 1835
