Royal Institution | 11 June 1839

My dear Sir

Allow me to introduce my friend Mr. Winsor¹ to you as a gentleman earnest in his pursuit of knowledge & who wishes to pay both his own & my respects to one who is worthy of them[.] Many thanks for your kind & encouraging letter² it came as from one who had well earned his right to praise & to one who will feel encouraged in his cause by it. The last series XV³ which I sent to you & Professor Plateau by the Royal Society has I hoped reached you or will do so before you receive this[.]

I am My dear Sir | Your Obliged & faithful M. Faraday
