Faraday to Eilhard Mitscherlich   25 May 1837

Royal Institution | 25 May, 1837

My dear Sir

I know that your avocations are constant & most important & I would not unnecessarily break in upon them. But I cannot resist the desire of sending a note to you by the hand of my friend Mr Morson who I expect will be at Berlin shortly and whom I charge with my best remembrances to you. I only wish I could come in my own person & look at and talk with you. I feel as if I could be more at home in your town than in any other in the world except London. Perhaps this may come to pass some day though at present there is no appearance of the event[.]

But though distant I am not willing to be out of mind & so shall trouble you from time to time with short notes and if I can presently with a paper or two.

Ever My dear Sir | Yours Most Truly | M. Faraday

Prof Mitscherlich | &c &c &c
