Faraday to Angela Georgina Burdett Coutts   27 March 1840

Royal Institution | 27 Mar 1840

My dear Madam

I have great pleasure in promising my proxy for the London Orphan¹ and will send it when they are issued. May I remind you of the help you allowed me to hope for from you for the Orphan Williams²[.] Being so late in the field we are hard pressed and must not lose a single Proxy if we can help it. If, as is probable you have received yours, will you favour me with it for the good cause[.]

Ever | Your grateful | humble Servant | M. Faraday

Miss A.B. Coutts | &c &c &c
