Charles Lyell and Faraday to Samuel March Phillipps¹   28 October 1844

London | 28 Octr. 1844

Sir

We send in certain plans sections & letters received from and through Mr. Stutchbury as the last of the documents which we are called upon to place in your hands[.]

With regard to the plan & sections Nos. 1 to 7, there is no need of any remark from us[.]

Letter No 8. has surprised us greatly for its apparent inconsistency but on very attentive consideration it has not in any respect altered our opinion and conclusions or requires that we should make any change in our Report².

In reference to No. 9 being Mr. Stutchbury's letter to us we are very glad to find that his views as a practical man accord so well with ours, but on many accounts prefer our own mode of working out the principle of ventilation propounded in our report[.]

We have the honor to be | Sir | Your Very Obedient Humble Servants | Cha Lyell | M. Faraday
