Faraday to Charles Richard Weld   1 May 1848

R Institution | 1 May 1848

My dear Sir

Your present is most acceptable & kind and I thank you with all my heart for it. It is not the present only but an ever enduring interest that attaches to Sir John Franklin1. On meeting Ross the other evening it rejoiced me to hear his assuring expressions regarding the success of the voyage he is about to undertake2[.]

Ever Your Obliged | M. Faraday

C.R. Weld Esq | &c &c &c

This was to be one of the many expeditions mounted to search for Franklin. However, this voyage did not commence until 1850.
