My dear Sir,

The proposed government embankment offering a favorable opportunity for directing the sewage from the river, and applying it to agricultural purposes¹, some parties are now engaged with me in endeavouring to effect the objects. A small private meeting is to be held here on Wednesday evening next (27th inst) at 1/2 past 7 oclk to consider the preliminary measures, and I hope you will be able to favor me with your attendance as I am anxious to make you acquainted with my views & to have the advantage of your observations previously to taking the more decided steps towards publicity.

Requesting an early answer I remain,

My dear Sir, | Very faithfully Yours | John Martin

Dr. Faraday | &c &c &c
