Faraday to Samuel March Phillipps   18 November 1844

Royal Institution | 18 Novr. 1844

Dear Sir

I send you a suggested list¹[.] I gave Mr Tremenheere² your message & he as you will see has helped much to the references³. If you approve of all these the number already rises up to 800 copies, but all these mines are not troubled with fire damp.

I should be glad to speak on this subject to our Members on one of the Friday Evening meetings of next year⁴. I presume there will be no objection but rather an advantage in my doing so but if there should be an objection will you do me the favour to inform me[.]

I am | My dear Sir | Your faithful Servant | M. Faraday

S.M. Phillipps Esq | &c &c &c
