Faraday to Charles William Pasley   27 February 1837

R Institution | Monday, 27 Feby 1837

My dear Sir

I hoped to have sent you word of your clays before this but the very dangerous & alarming illness of a brother¹ has stopped Lectures & every thing else. He is the least degree better but most of my time is devoted to him. I trust however soon to look at the clays & do what I can with them[.] As however analyses are long things & I have little time to give & should be unable to do more than the two; - if you think time has changed them, you had better send me up two other samples towards the end of this week i.e. about Thursday² and then I trust to return you a quick answer³[.]

Ever Dear Sir | Very Truly Yours | M. Faraday
