R Institution | 2 Jany 1845

My dear Barlow

I send you as soon as I can the titles for the two evenings i.e the subjects; if you do not like the titles alter them. Jany 17th On the condition and ventilation of the coal mine goaf1.

Jany 31. On the liquefaction & solidification of bodies usually gaseous<r>2[.]

Mrs Faraday begs me to thank you & Mrs. Barlow for a Pheasant and the many good wishes which we know were floating about it[.] We earnestly hope that this year and every new one for a long while to come will bring health & happiness to you both[.]

I write in haste because I thought you would like to know the dates. They depend on Mr Addams3 who cannot well let me have Carb acid before the 31st.

Ever Yours | M. Faraday
