George Neale to Faraday   19 February 1843

St Catherines Light | Feby 19th 1843

Sir

In answer to your Letter respecting the general effect of the Copper pipe fixed by your direction I feel great Pleasure to say it has realised the ful[l] anticipation you formed of its merits that is to say no damp condensing on windows no dirt shading the Lantern in every respect keeping 20 times cleaner. The weather to day forms a comparison of Feby 1841 but pleasing to say no damp[.] Sir your Plan has driven the enemy out[.] I entertain no not the slightest fears of him ever coming again to cause such labour as you wittnesed on the 4th of Feby 1841¹[.]

Sir I am | Your Obedient Servant | George Neale

M. Faraday Esq

Address: M. Faraday Esq | Royal Institution | Albemarle Street | London
