Davies Gilbert to Faraday   7 February 1839

Athenaeum Feby 7 | 1839

My dear Sir,

I flatter myself that you will have the goodness to excuse me for stating that my only Son is for ballot on Monday, that I am most anxious for his admission into this club, and of course that I am most anxious to interest my Friends on his behalf1.

Believe me | My dear Sir | Yours most faithfully | Davies Gilbert

Michael Faraday Esq
