Faraday to Miss Daniell   15 May 18481

R Institution | 15 May 1848

My dear Miss Daniell

I sent some weeks ago & soon after I saw you at Norwood, three letters from your father to me2. Two were slight but the third very characteristic - they are all I have for I burn letters generally. I addressed them by Post to Miss Daniell Norwood & have heard nothing of them since so conclude Your Sister has them. I should be very sorry to lose them - so both for your sake and mine write to Miss Daniell about them[.]

With best remembrances to your brother believe me

most Truly Yours | M. Faraday

I purpose going tomorrow to look at a bust. MF
