Faraday to Charles Babbage   27 November 18481

R Institution | 27 Nov. 1848

Dear Babbage

I must experiment tomorrow morning with the large magnet2 & if you are passing could shew you the repulsion of copper:- and if I knew about what time you might be here would have all ready for the moment. I must leave the Laboratory at 2 o'clk or a little before[.]

Ever truly yours | M. Faraday
