John Lindley to Faraday   23 September 1837¹

My Dear Faraday

Major Mitchell, who has occupied himself so long in the examination of the interior of New Holland, wants to have 3 bottles of salt analysed. They are from distant salt water lakes in the interior. Could you do this for him? or is there any one whom you could tell me of who would do it "for the good of Australia".

Yours faithfully | John Lindley
