R Institution | 24 June 1839

My dear Sir

Will you allow me to recommend a patient to you & to ask your good advice for my friend Mrs. Brocklebank2. I know you would have done your best for her if she came as a stranger; but her hesitation induces me to give her this letter of encouragement to you[.]

Ever My dear Sir | Yours faithfully | M. Faraday

J. Huxtable Esq.
