Faraday to an unidentified correspondent   23 June 1837

R Institution | 23 June 1837

My Dear Sir

I do not know why the proof should come to me; as I suppose Daniell will be sure to see it¹. Indeed I am obliged to return it for I am going out of town & cannot find time to go over it.

With respect to your last note I have no recollection of it but if it contained any enquiry, I am quite sure I must either have answered it or not received it[.]

Ever Truly Yours | Faraday

Your remark as to the ratio of surface and S.G is quite correct. In fact the coincidence must be accidental because it is not likely that the number 16 & 1 for the surfaces would remain quite constant under all forms of the battery or with all exciting fluids[.] | MF
