Faraday to Charles Lyell   15 March 1845

R Institution | 15 March 1845

Dear Lyell

I have just seen the Times & what is says Sir James Graham said in the house the other night1 about the reports2 & I am not aware that he has referred to the Coal office report3 to us but look again at the wording of the note4 to us & at all events take care of it. Do you think we ought to do any thing[.] Perhaps you may have heard more[.]

Ever Yours | M. Faraday
