Faraday to Thomas Newborn Robert Morson   17 November 1843

R Institution | 17 Novr. 1843

Dear Morson

To the canvassings which I have already had (rather close ones) I have given for answer that I am not on the council - do not mix with the managing part of the R.S. - take no responsibility as to its conduct:- & therefore must not interfere1. I am constrained to give you the same answer as to Mr Williams2.

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

T.M. [sic] Morson | &c &c &c

John Williams given on the short list, otherwise unidentified.
