Lord Auckland to Faraday   1 August 18471

Admiralty: August 1, 1847.

My dear Sir, - I have received your letter2, and return you many thanks for it. I am very sorry for the account which you give me of your health, and must express my hope that the quiet which you are seeking may completely restore it. For the investigation which I have immediately in view I will look for other assistance. In the event of your returning to us in perfect health I would again occasionally recur to your friendly advice.

Very truly, &c., | Auckland.

George Eden, 2nd Baron Auckland (1784-1849, DNB). First Lord of the Admiralty, 1846-1849.
