Faraday to Henry Thomas De La Beche   28 September 1848

Wimbledon1 | 28 Sep 1848

My dear De la Beche

I believe you have some fine separate crystals of Titanium2 at the Museum3. Can you lend them to me? I will not hurt them. Do not trouble yourself to write but as I pass on Saturday4 I will call in and hear whether you can or not from <-><-> our Court friend. I cannot remember his name.

Ever Yours | M. Faraday
