Faraday to Lyon Playfair   10 April 1848

R Institution | 10 April 1848

Many thanks My dear Playfair for your kind offer1 but I shall not want it for next Friday2. Perhaps after Easter3 I might & will then trouble you. When I see you I will ask you whether it is a cylinder or a horseshoe arrangement[.]

Ever Yours | M. Faraday

Dr. L. Playfair | &c &c &c
