Faraday to Samuel Hunter Christie   5 November 1845

Royal Institution | 5 Nov 1845

Dear Christie

I send you a paper from Schoenbein1 which he wishes the R.S.2 to have if they think it interesting. I rather think the Chemists may think well of it[.]

I have one also to send you on my own part3 but it is not quite ready – a day would finish it if I had to write only but I am writing & working too. You remember the fish I spoke of as having caught but not yet landed it. I have brought a good lump to shore & I think you will like it[.] It is a mixture of electricity, magnetism & light – but I will say no more about it except that you shall very soon have it[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
