Faraday to John William Lubbock   28 December 1835

R Institution | 28 Dec 1835

My dear Sir

I send you the rough report for your consideration1.

I send you also some results which Mr Sturdy had obtained with the instrument. But he has not taken the same temperatures that I took so that I cannot compare them with mine without having also the tables[.]

We must not interrupt the progress of the tables but I should like to know how Mr Sturdys results came out by the table of weight.

I hope it will not be long before we shall have the tables and be able to report to the Council. I should be glad prior to any meeting of the Committee to see the Tables report &c again to fill up vacancies &c &c

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

J.W. Lubbock Esq | &c &c &c

The final report is in the Minutes of Excise Committee of the Royal Society, 20 February 1836, RS MS CMB 67, pp.56-68. See note 3, letter 761.
