My dear Sir
I send the tickets[.]
The specimens you mentioned I think you may have. The only circumstance that makes me doubtful is their leaving London & so being as it were removed from our reach if Mr Brande or any other of our lecturers wanted them suddenly. Our Managers would perhaps object but as I do not know that at present take them this time & I shall learn their feeling on some future opportunity[.]
Thank you for the Chem Manipulation hint1. I have sometimes removed the stopper of a bottle I could not move because of its contents or size by the heat of the friction of a piece of list or thick loose card2[.]
Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
