Henry Thomas De La Beche to Faraday   1 October 1848

57 Stephens Green, Dublin | 1 Oct. 1848

My dear Faraday

The loan of the crystals of Titanium by all means1. I only hope that Mr. Reeks2, or Mr. Phillips let you have them. Any thing that can aid or abet your investigations. I am not there, meaning thereby the heading of this, but in a quiet little place on the coast of Wexford. The address is to prevent letters getting wrong amid my constant movements.

The Irish papers report 'All quiet in the disturbed districts.'- but, somehow things dont look well3.

Ever Yours | H.T. De la Beche
