William Allen Miller to Faraday   2 July 1842

King's Coll. July 2 / 42

Dear Sir

After a deliberate consideration of all the circumstance connected with the appointment1 you so kindly mentioned to me on Thursday2, I think I shall act most prudently in declining it altogether. I will not trespass on your time & patience by detailing the reasons that have led me to this decision, as with many of them you are already acquainted. Need I say how deeply I feel this mark of your kindness & confidence.

Believe me | Dear Sir | Your sincerely obliged | Wm Allen Miller

Dr. Faraday | &c &c
