Olinthus Gilbert Gregory to Faraday   5 January 1838¹

Woolwich Common | 5 January 1838

My dear Sir

It did not occur to me to say, when I had the pleasure of seeing you this morning, that, if your relative's letter of application to Gen Drummond, be accompanied by one from you, it will doubtless tend to promote the object you have in view. The general has a very sincere esteem for you - and will be glad to meet your wishes, so far as may be in his power.

I write this hasty note to-night, to supply the omission of this morning: and am, with much esteem,

My dear Sir, | Yours very cordially, | Olinthus Gregory
