John Peter Boileau to Faraday   3 May 18441

My dear Sir,

Again2 I must intrude with you on behalf of a most interesting and well known lady.

What a fortunate man I ought to consider you - so much in all their thoughts - Will Mrs. Faraday forgive me?

The paper you were so good as to give me of your views on Electric conduction & the nature of matter3 I asked for to give Mrs. Marcet & unfortunately learn as she is now with one hand, she has lost it between her house & mine. May I request another copy for her.

Your's very sincerely | John P. Boileau

20 Upper Brook Sq | May 3, 44

PS. I have taken the liberty of sending a Norfolk lev[e]ret to Mrs. Faraday by the Bearer as they are now just in season | JPB
