My dear Schoenbein
I received your letter1 here and though sad events2 make me unable to profit at once by your presence in London yet I should like to see you if it can be[.] Now I shall be in town next Monday morning3 (alone) and if you should be in town & would perhaps like to see an experiment or two on the Magnetic action of bodies I would undertake to shew them to you. In that case I would stop in town an hour or two & devote the morning to you and we would experiment & talk from any hour you please beginning at 9 oclk A.M. Beside I want to talk with you about the paper &c.
Write me a note to the Institution saying what you will do & the hour & send it to the Royal Institution & it will be forwarded to me wherever I am[.]
Mrs. Faraday unites in kind wishes to you with | Yours affectionately | M. Faraday
Dr Schoenbein | &c &c &c
