Faraday to John Barlow   14 September 1843

Folkestone | 14 Septr. 1843

Dear Barlow

Few words and worthless must suffice at present for time is short & head ache long & tiresome. We return home on Saturday1 & I hope to feel less the worn man then than I do now. The town is very busy here & the operations both on the railway2 & harbour very interesting and the weather is now fine but it has been damp & cold in feeling. I catch myself thinking far more of weather than I used to do. Mrs Faradays best remembrance to you[.] Miss Reid is not here. With heartiest wishes to Mrs Barlow & yourself.

I am My dear friend | Yours faithfully | M. Faraday

Revd. J. Barlow | &c &c &c

That is 16 September 1843.
