George Biddell Airy to Faraday   26 June 1840

Royal Observatory Greenwich | 1840 June 26

My dear Sir

On returning from a journey I find your note of the 24th¹. I am not sure that my First Assistant² has not answered it³, but I may as well make assurance or rather doubt doubly sure. Any person introduced by you will be welcome to see the Observatory. There is no restriction as to days, except that no one is admitted on Sundays, with regard to hours, have the goodness to request your friend to call between 9 and 2: as at 1 minute past 2 he may not find a single assistant on the grounds.

I am my dear Sir | Very truly yours | G.B. Airy

Michael Faraday Esq | DCL &c &c &c
