Dear Babbage
Not being able to answer queries 1 and 2 of my own knowledge I endeavoured to find the information wanted and now send what has come to hand. I see no reason to doubt the evidence as far as it goes[.]
With regard to query 3. I do not think that drying the wood in an oven is at all likely to interfere with the effect of the preparation[.]
Ever My dear Sir | Most truly yours | M. Faraday
