Faraday to Henry Lake   8 August 1842¹

Tynemouth | 8 Aug 1842

Sir

After some delay I received your letter at this place & hasten to assure you that in my opinion you have no reason to fear any diminution of the strength of the bronze sustaining chains by a change of fuel from oil to gas[.]

I am Sir | Your Very Obedient Servant | M. Faraday

Henry Lake Esq | &c &c &c
