James Clark to Faraday   26 February 1845

My dear Sir,

It will take up less of your time, I believe, to read the good old Bishops note & let me [know] what to reply, than to call on you1.

Ever truly yours | Jas Clark

Brook Street | Feb. 26 - 1845

This refers to some unspecified piece of business of the Senate of the University of London which met on this day with Faraday present, but not Clark (Senate Minutes, 26 February 1845, p.38). The bishop could have been either Edward Stanley, Edward Maltby (1770-1859, DNB, Bishop of Durham, 1836-1856) or Cannop Thirlwall (1797-1875, DNB, Bishop of St David's, 1840-1874).
