Faraday to Dawson Turner   8 December 1842¹

Royal Institution | 8 Decr. 1842

My dear Sir

I have received a barrel of herrings and do not know who to associate such a thing with but You[.] I remember Magrath saying something to me a good while ago about getting you to direct somebody at Yarmouth to send off certain barrels at the due season[.] If you have done me this favour I most heartily thank you but as the person who ever it may be has sent me no direction or note or sign by which I may make the necessary communication with him will you do me the further favour either to give me his address or tell him to send me a certain note that I may set things in order again before Christmas[.]

Wishing you all health & happiness at this & every season of the year

I am My dear Sir | Your Very Obliged | M. Faraday
