Faraday to James David Forbes   25 October 1839

Royal Institution | 25 Octr 1839

My dear Sir

Thanks for your note & the papers. Herewith I send you copies of XII & XIII1 (I have no doubt others are somewhere addressed to you) & I shall be glad indeed of Nos I & II2[.]

As you talk of binding my poor papers with a binding remember that the Title & Index only extends to the first fourteen series3 & leaves out the XVth4. I am just now fidgeting about a XVIth5 so it is all very well[.]

I am very sorry you missed Dumas6. He is a fine fellow[.]

Ever Yours faithfully | M. Faraday

Prof Forbes | &c &c &c
