Faraday to Thomas Andrews   26 October 1843

R. Institution | 26, Octr. 1843.

My dear Sir,

I hasten to write by return of post to say what pleasure it will give me to have your papers & present them to the R.S. for I cannot doubt their value. Let me have them, and you shall have sincerity both in word & act. My memory is so bad that I cannot remember the exact state of the subject but I conclude the paper¹ you are about to send me is original by additions to what you have published already².

Whether I sent you a paper on steam electricity³ or not I cannot now say but my copies have unaccountably run out & I have not one to do what I wish with now namely send it to you.

Thanks for all your kind wishes & heartily the same to you. I am quite well in health but not in memory.

Ever yours truly | (signed) M. Faraday

Dr. T. Andrews | &c &c &c
