Henry Thomas De Le Beche to Faraday   4 February 1846

Museum of Economic Geology | 4 Febr. 1846

My dear Faraday,

Would it suit you to go to the next Leveé on the 11th Instant1, and, if so, would you object to join me in a machine to take you there as we did last time. We should thus get our bow over - and the Queen this year, from good reasons why2, will not hold late leveés.

Ever Yours | H.T. De La Beche
