Faraday to Joseph Woods   25 March 18451

R Institution | 25 Mar 1845

Dear Sir

I send you a list of the F. Evs & when I see Barlow will procure the Season ticket & send it also. Secure one the first night here - for though our Committee allow me great liberties I fear I shall have some difficulty with them & the subjects. I trust Manby will help you in this respect[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

J. Woods Esq | &c &c &c

Joseph Woods (1816-1849, Min.Proc.Inst.Civ.Eng., 1850, 9: 107-8). Civil engineer who had invented a process for anastatic printing (for an account of this see Lit.Gaz., 25 January 1845, pp.56-7). Woods provided Faraday with information for his Friday Evening Discourse on this topic on 25 April 1845. Although the account of the Discourse in Lit.Gaz., 3 May 1845, p.279 does not mention Woods, he is referred to in Faraday's notes in RI MS F4 G20.
