Faraday to Angela Georgina Burdett Coutts   15 August 18391

Mr Faraday is very grateful to Miss Coutts for the honor of her invitation and deeply regrets that he cannot accept it: he will trust to Mr Babbage for a sufficient statement of the circumstances. Mr. Faraday hopes however to offer his respects to Miss Coutts at a later hour in the Evening by the side of the Electric Eel2.
