Faraday to James Sheridan Muspratt   26 June 1845

Royal Institution | 26 June 1845

Dear Sir

On coming home1 I first found your letter & Liebig's2 & was very sorry I had missed you. Wherever the occasion of our meeting occurs do not let my bad memory be the cause of my not knowing you or remembering the circumstances but let me trust in your kindness to remind me of them[.]

Within the hour I have received your parcel & thank you most heartily for the papers3 & book. The German I cannot do justice to but the volume4 I shall enjoy. I beg to offer you a copy of my last paper on gases5 (which I have marked & put aside) and on the first occasion that arises will send it[.]

I am | My dear Sir | Your Very Obliged | M. Faraday

Dr. J.S. Muspratt | &c &c &c
