Charles Turner to Faraday   1 February 1836

Feby 1st 1836 | Warren Street | Fitzroy Sq

Dear Sir,

A thousand thanks for your kind indulgence in permitting me to Sketch in the Laboratory, it has been of the greatest use to my drawing.

I must now confess that I have long experienced so much gratification, & pleasure, in attending your admirable Lectures, that I was very anxious to obtain for my Private Room, a likeness of the distinguished Professor whose time I well know was too valuable for me ever to expect a moment to be given to my objects. Therefore I have endeavoured to make a sketch of you from Recol[l]ection & in its present state, I shall feel honor'd in showing it you whenever agreeable. I do sincerely hope I may not incur your displeasure, by taking the liberty of a remembrance of one whom I thus desire to possess in my Study, with those Friends I already possess¹.

I have the honor to | be Dear Sir Yours very truly | C. Turner

To | M. Faraday Esq
