Faraday to William Scoresby   8 June 1840

R Institution | 8 June 1840

My dear Sir

I am very grateful for your unexpected kindness in leaving me certain excellent bars¹. I shall value them most highly both as to the subject & in remembrance of you[.] Let me also for myself thank you for your admirable evening². It has given me many new thoughts, enlarged many others & has set me & many into a congenial state of thinking & longing which will be some time before it abates. Mr Anderson will with this note bring the apparatus & I have told him to defray such expenses as you tell him of[.] I mean those of carriage from Hull here & others that have been incurred for the evening. If you do not know them at present then whenever you let me know their amount they shall be discharged[.]

Allow me again to thank you most heartily for the Evening & when our Members meet I am sure they will take the earliest oppor‑tunity of giving you their thanks also[.]

Ever my dear Sir |Your obliged Servant | M. Faraday

Revd. Dr. Scoresby
