Faraday to John Barlow   11 December 1845

R Institution | 11 Decr. 1845

My dear Barlow

As the Athenaeum does not allow of double seconders I lost both the pleasure of signing your nomination & the time which I took from my experiments to go in person to do so. However you are in right shape & I hope to be at the ballot1[.]

Ever Yours | M. Faraday
