John Martin to Faraday   22 January 1846

30, Allsop Terrace, New Road | January 22d, 1846

My dear Faraday,

I have so long had the pleasure of your friendship, and watched the progress of your valuable excursions into electricity and magnetism that you may suppose the interest I feel in your recent important discoveries. As I have not, however, yet had an opportunity of hearing you yourself elucidate your experiments and their results, I would ask whether you could let me have a card for your lecture tomorrow evening1.

I remain, | My dear Faraday, | Sincerely Yours | John Martin

Dr. Faraday | &c &c &c
