Faraday to James South   22 November 1842

83 West Street | Brighton

My dear Sir James

Having arrived¹ here I write in haste to save the post. I find all the deposits to be carbonate of lead[.] Those marked

Carton A 6 or 7 years old from waste pipe

Carton B Kitchen 1 1/2 year Old

Carton C 1 1/2 year old W.C.

mostly pure. That of Carton A from bottom & which was yellow mainly carbonate with probably a little iron & earthy deposit & this coloured part I had not time to examine[.]

I expected to have found some of the water taken from the Spring head but Anderson said you had not left any[.]

Ever Dear Sir James | Yours faithfully | M. Faraday
