George Biddell Airy to Faraday   27 March 1846

Royal Observatory Greenwich | 1846 March 27

My dear Sir

I returned last evening, and found your card¹ and my sister's account of your call on me. I am very much obliged to you. And with respect to the time of meeting you, may fix it for the accommodation of others. Monday or Tuesday next (30th or 31st) or a later day are equally convenient to me, and hours in such a matter are equally indifferent.

Therefore

1. If I receive no further instruction from you I will be with you on Monday 30th at 1 o'clock.

2. But any other time will do as well for me, & if you will merely send your card with any other time written on it I shall understand it as an appointment[.]

I am my dear Sir | Yours very truly | G.B. Airy

Michael Faraday Esq | &c &c &c
