Faraday to William Robert Grove   20 February 1844

R Institution | 20 Feby 1844

Dear Grove

Mr Carty 1 tells me that your assistant is about to leave you and he asks me whether you will want another. He & we are anxious to find a situation for him, & perhaps he might be very suitable for you, if you think so will you give him the opportunity of applying to you for it[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Carty is the young man or lad (age 17) whom you may have seen in our Laby. He is there to improve himself, because of his aptness for chemistry until something shall turn up for him[.] MF

1
