John Henry Pelly to Faraday   4 February 1836

My Dear Sir

I recd your Letter of yesterday¹ on coming to town this morning, and by it I am happy to presume that we agree on all points even in the difficulty of filling in the Blank I had left for your consideration². I agree with you that Chemical adviser contains to little & to others (unexplained) Scientific adviser would be too much, I therefore trust that which has been adopted "Scientific adviser in experiments on Lights to the Corporation" will meet your Ideas and I am happy to inform you that my proposition was unanimously agreed to and you will receive from the Secretary³ the official communication of your appointment & believe me

My Dear Sir | Yours truly | J.H. Pelly

T House | Feb, 4th. 1836
