Richard Drew to Faraday 14 March 1843

Trinity House | March 14, 1843

My dear Sir

I am unwilling to trouble you but having on my visit to the French Light Houses, three years since, and again very recently, brought among some cotton Wicks in use thereat, and finding them differing much with those employ'd in our Light Establishments I beg to call your attention thereto; and I request that you will take measures to ascertain which you may consider the preferable of the two.
