Faraday to John Barlow   22 July 1843

18 Wellington Crescent | Ramsgate | 22 July 1843

My dear Barlow

I wish you joy of the successful termination of the Election of His Royal Highness Prince Albert1 & think it will give you great pleasure2.

Mrs Faraday begs me to acknowledge your letters, but my time before post is very short & my head ache & giddiness very considerable so I must cut my writing short[.] As to tea cups & saucers lend them by all means, it is a fortunate circumstance that we can pay off the Asiatic gods so easily[.]

Ever Your Obliged | M. Faraday

Revd. John Barlow | &c &c &c
