Faraday to London Medical Gazette   7 April 1845

R Institution | 7 April 1845

Sir

Absence from town has been the reason of my delay in replying to your letter. I am very happy in sending an admission &c1. all I can say is that I am unable to give you any assistance in taking or correcting the matter of the lectures so that if on hearing them you think them worth notice you must not let it appear as if I had any authority or charge in the matter[.]

I am Sir | Your obedient Servant | M. Faraday
