Faraday to John Barlow   31 October 1843

RI. | 31 Octr. 1843

Dear Barlow

I told Mr Brande about the two first evenings1[.] I hold myself engaged for one but I do not know what.

As to the Lectures Yes2.

I shall show your letter to Mrs Faraday, so that she will have your message exactly[.]

Ever Yours | M. Faraday
