Benjamin Silliman to Faraday   29 May 1840

Dear Sir

Your letter to Dr Hare was received just in time for the July No of the American Journal in which it is already printed¹. By my friend Mr Combe² of Edinb I hope to send you a dozen copies of the letter for your acceptance & should you find errors the corrections may arrive reasonably for insertion in the October No of the Journal which will bring them within the volume.

I have to renew my thanks for your continued kindness in sending me the series of your very valuable researches & it will give pleasure at any time to manifest my respectful feelings in any way in my power - in return.

Should you wish to have any other communication inserted in the Journal I will attend to your wishes & remain with very great respect

Your obedient servant | B. Silliman

for himself & | B. Silliman Jr³
