Faraday to Augusta Ada Lovelace   10 February 1845

R Institution | 10 Feby 1845

Dear Lady Lovelace

Tuesday week (i.e. the 17¹) I must keep an engagement which I am obliged to put off from tomorrow night because of severe cold & influenza and yet I should so much like to see you again that even though I may not be able to call before 1/2 p 9 or 10 oclk I will come for half an hour or so if you do not say it is too late[.]

Ever faithfully Yours | M. Faraday

In thinking of the possibility of seeing you at so late an hour I have quite forgotten to thank you for your kind letter & the accounts of your health. MF.
