Jacob Herbert to Faraday   22 November 1839

Trinity House | 22 November 1839

My dear Sir,

I have mentioned to the Deputy Master¹ the particular subject of our Conversation, when I had the pleasure to see you here last week, and acquainted him with the general purport of my reply and observations to you. He does, as I was certain he would do, most fully and most cordially concur in the view & sentimen[t]s which I entertain upon the subject. I think therefore that I must not add more than the expression of the most sincere Hopes & Wishes that your name may long be officially, & being so cannot be otherwise than usefully, associated with the scientific objects of this Corporation.

Believe me, with | great respect & Esteem, | My dear Sir | faithfully Yours | J. Herbert

M. Faraday Esq.
