Royal Institution | 23 April 1838
Sir
Though unwilling to do any thing which might bear the interpretation of a desire on my part to proffer evidence in favour of my own character I cannot for a moment hesitate to answer your inquiries1[.] Had I been in town, the list I now enclose would have been sent sooner. One title, namely that of F.R.S. was sought and paid for; all the rest are spontaneous offerings of kindness and goodwill from the bodies named. Perhaps I ought to have added one more, for I feel it an honour equal to that of any of those set down; I mean that of Member of the senate of the University of London; but as you Sir were the person conferring it2 I have left it for you to do with as you may please[.]
I have the honour to be | Sir | Your Obedient Humble Servant | M. Faraday
The Right Honorable | T. Spring Rice M.P. | &c &c &c
