Faraday to Roderick Impey Murchison   12 May 1845

R Institution | 12 May 1845

My dear Sir

I return the swords I trust safe1 & with many thanks. I think I have been over careful with the one in the Macintosh for I have wrapped it up in paper which was not the case I believe before. If you incline to change nights with me2, I will give you the 30th May3 & will take the 6th June4 but have the kindness to let me know at once if you can[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

R.I. Murchison Esq | &c &c &c
