Faraday to Charles Babbage   2 November 1840

R Institution | 2 Novr 1840

Thanks dear Babbage for your kind invitation to one so unworthy from his habits of that sort of kindness since he never values it enough. I leave town tomorrow morning for Brighton & hope to get rid of a headache there which as some people say I have enjoyed for the last four months1[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
