My dear Babbage
Many thanks for your very kind & flattering invitation1 - but I shall not be able to accept it. Friday nights are always preoccupied nights with me during the Evening meetings[.]
Will you allow me the pleasure of offering you a copy of my researches in a single volume?2
Ever Very faithfully Yours | M. Faraday
