My Dear Madam

Accept my most grateful thanks for your kind letter which I have just received2[.] Most sincerely do I regret that I cannot comply with the wish expressed in it - as I am persuaded that any statement of mine in the public papers cannot now be attended with any advantage to either party[.]

Repeating my heartfelt gratitude to you for the kind interest you have shewn me during the whole transaction I have the honor to subscribe myself

My dear Madam | Your Most Obedient faithful Servant | M. Faraday

The | Honorable Miss Fox
