George Biddell Airy to Faraday   10 June 1842

Royal Observatory Greenwich | 1842 June 10

My dear Sir

I have not had time earlier to answer your note of the 7th¹.

Pray send the lady whom you mention (whose name I cannot read) with a note to Mr. Main² my First Assistant, on any day, except Sunday, before 2h PM. I am to be on the Continent.

I do not encourage any lady friends - but the case of a person whom you think worth introduction, and still more for whom you make previous enquiry, is not an ordinary one.

I am my dear Sir | Yours truly | G.B. Airy

Michael Faraday Esq | &c &c &c
