Faraday to Giovanni Alessandro Majocchi   20 March 1846¹

Royal Institution London | 20 March 1846.

Sir

I have received your letter with that for Mr. Taylor and am greatly obliged by your kindness: I acted immediately upon it, sending off the letter to Mr. Taylor who is both the Editor and the printer of the Philosophical Magazine. I am very glad to hear of your researches and look with impatience for your papers they have not yet arrived but I have no doubt they will be here soon. I will give notice at the Royal Society respecting them[.]

I shall also take the liberty of sending you a copy of my papers which the Royal Society has just now published² - though they were written & sent in to be read last year - but our operations here in publication are rather slow. I believe that the Clerk of the Royal Society can send these papers for me for he says they send regularly to Italy both the north & south part. I hope you will in due time receive them safe but I often doubt whether the papers sent reach their destination[.]

Believe me to be with every sentiment of esteem | & respect Sir | Your Very Obliged & humble Servant | M. Faraday

The | Professor | Jean A. Majochi | &c &c &c
