[MS torn] I regret that I cannot take your <telegr>aphic system into consideration or <give> any opinion upon it: but I [MS torn] so placed both generally and <pa>rticularly in relation to those who <g>ive opinions and especially in <re>spect of electric telegraphs that it is entirely out of my power[.] Under the circumstances I think it best to return the drawing[.]

I am Sir | Your very Obedient Servant | M. Faraday
