Faraday to Edward Vivian   20 February 18361

Royal Institution | 20 Feby 1836

My dear Sir

I wish to recall to your mind a conversation we had about Balloon travelling, and to hope that we can shortly renew it[.] Our Friday Evenings are now on & the more I think of the subject the more I am persuaded that it would make a very interesting affair2[.]

Your Very faithful Servant | M. Faraday

- Vivian Esq | &c &c &c
