Faraday to John Barlow   26 March 1845

31 Kings Road | Brighton | 26 Mar 1845

My Dear Barlow

Your letter finds me here and with little time to write to all concerned except briefly; so to the matter at once[.] Having your mind I have written to Solly¹ for Mr. Grainger ² on Solly's subject, but I really could not remember exactly what that was - & I have told him I should be (as I intend) at home on the Friday to attend & help ie guide Mr. Grainger in the matter.

In reply to a letter from Mr Fincher I have written to tell him it will be the same subject as that given him but Mr. Grainger instead of Mr. Solly³[.]

With regard to my first Friday Evening the 24th [sic] I think of April. I have taken Anastatic printing finding that I could have presses plates, workmen & the operation properly performed & hope you will approve⁴[.]

The other evening I expect will be the Artesian well & Water but have not yet seen Mr Easton⁵.

I send you a request made to me. Do you know the person or the Journal? If respectable I would send him admission but after that he can have no special authority & must do as other reporters do. Send me his letter back again that I may give him such answer as on consideration may be expedient[.]

Remember us to Mrs Barlow who I hope is enjoying the change in the weather[.]

In haste (but not for that reason less) truly yours | M. Faraday

Revd. John Barlow | &c &c &c
