Faraday to James South   12 November 1842

RI. | 12 Novr. 1842

My dear Sir James

I write in haste to catch the Post & hope you will find all in right order[.] I would have sent a little pure NA but could not in a letter.

I was at your house about a week ago & found you were away. I left a certain book there of no value in itself but which I believe you desired to have[.]

Pray remember me most respectfully to His Grace1[.] I was very much grieved to hear of his illness but am glad of your news concerning his recovery of health.

Ever My dear Sir James | Most faithfully Yours | M. Faraday

Edward Adolphus Seymour, 11th Duke of Somerset (1775-1855, DNB). Wrote on mathematics. President of the Royal Institution, 1827-1842.
