Edward Sabine to Faraday   1 March 1845

Woolwich March 1, 1845

Dear Faraday

I called on Wednesday1 at the R.I. to speak to you about air Thermometers for low temperatures for the new Arctic Expn but you were out2. Can I see you on Tuesday or Wednesday3 next at Woolwich? I fear I can scarcely prevail upon you to take tea with Mrs. S.4 & myself on the Tuesday evening. If you would I should be very glad and we would meet you either at the Greenwich railroad at an hour appointed, or at the Woolwich or Greenwich terminus of the Boat, whichever you come by. We are close to the 7 mile stone on the high road to Dover. But if you will not do this, will you tell me when I can see you for a quarter of an hour, either on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.

Sincerely Yours | Edward Sabine

I hope that your recd a little pamphlet from me on the subject of meteorology some time since5.

Our very kind regards to Mrs. Faraday.
