Royal Institute [sic], November 22, 1841
My Dear Sir: I have received your delightful volumes2, and congratulate you on their completion. As I was writing my name on the title page (which I do to all my books) I could not help wishing to have your autograph there. If it is not disagreeable to you I hope you will favor me with it just before mine, but if you would rather not, do not be troubled by my asking you, but send them back without. I will send for them this evening.
Ever truly yours, | M. Faraday.
Geo. Catlin, Esq.
