Faraday to William Gravatt   2 December 1837

Royal Institution | 2 Dec. 1837

Dear Sir

Of the books sent Mr. Collinsons1 is the best. I do not know how to name a second best nor do I think I can recommend any for the prize. I have no note books of the gentlemen numbered up to 22.

I have not received the last for sundries and I only sent the receipt because on former occasions I was directed to do so. The claims not being attended until that was seen.

I will return the note books immediately.

Ever your Obliged Servant | M. Faraday

Coll. Gravatt | Inspector | &c &c &c

I received one note by post and found one in the parcel MF

Thomas Bernard Collinson (1821-1902, GRO). Later a general in the Royal Engineers. Army List.
