My dear Sir
I told you that I intended to recommend the term Franklinic electricity as a proper designation of what you call Machine electricity. That you may see how it looks in print I send you a proof sheet in which I have tried to refer to method some of your beautiful memoirs of research. See p. 563, 42 - You may look at these papers at your leisure if you think it worth while and need not return the sheet as it is a duplicate.
Believe me | Yours very truly | W. Whewell
