Sarah Faraday to Jane Davy   6 December 1843

Mrs. Faraday presents her respects and sincerest thanks to Lady Davy for the very unexpected mark of her kindness which she has received at Brighton[.]

Though well aware of the ties by feeling and gratitude which bind her husband to the memory of Sir Humphrey Davy and in which as a wife she is partaker still Mrs. Faraday was hardly prepared for so kind an expression of a corresponding feeling from Lady Davy[.]

The basket Mrs. Faraday has not seen but it cannot add to the value which Lady Davys note derives from its own contents[.]

Brighton | Decr 6th 1843

Endorsed: 1843. Mrs. Faraday a beautiful note.
