Faraday to Christian Friedrich Schoenbein   7 September 1841

Zug | 7 Septr. 1841

My dear Schoenbein

I write from this place to say that we expect to be at Bâle in our very rapid passage homewards on Monday or Tuesday next¹ but are not sure[.] If you will have your papers ready I will call on you as soon as we arrive. I hope we shall find you, Madame Schoenbein, & the family quite well & hope you will make our best respects[.] We have been pretty well in our Journey but just now some of us are suffering from bad colds. I think however they are leaving us[.] We have been round to Bienne, Berne, Thun, Brientz, Interlaken, Grindewald, Hospental, Lucerne &c including the Wengern Alps the Gemmi the Grimsel &c and now must go home. Trusting to find you happy active & well I am

My dear friend | Yours Ever | M. Faraday

Address: Professor Schoenbein | &c &c &c | Bâle | on the Rhine
