Dr. Faraday
My dear Sir
I regret to have missed your kind visit, and to have been thus long in returning it. Considering the accounts which I heard some time since of the state of your health, I am delighted to find that you are able to take the lead at the Roy. Institution in this season of universal calamity.
If you will still accept of my glandular system I shall be proud to receive a hearing on any night following that which you have assigned to Mr. Brande1. It is a system which I have not yet had the pleasure of discussing in your Institution nor any where else.
"On the Development of the Glandular System in the Animal Kingdom compared with that of Man"2.
My Fridays are equally at your service, but you will much oblige me by letting me know by the bearer or by the Two penny- post, the evening which you assign to me.
I remain my Dear Sir | Yours most truly | Robert E. Grant
10 Seymour Place North | Euston Square. | 13 January 1837.
