Faraday to William Robert Grove   26 July 1848

R Institution | 26 July 1848

Dear Grove

I dare not trust my head in rough waters - therefore can you tell me the best & shortest way (in time) by Land to Swansea1 - or tell me where to enquire about it. I wish to be at Swansea the first week but must return to London on the Saturday2[.]

Ever Yours | M. Faraday

Matteucci (writing from Milan) desires to be remembered to you | MF
