Faraday to J. Miller1   c May 18492

Norfolk St | Saturday [sic]3 Morning

My dear Sir

It is not wonderful that we should miss one another in London - especially as on my part I am living by order of my medical friend4 out of town at Wimbledon. We have an evening meeting of the members of the Institution to night at 1/2 past 8 if it would give you pleasure to be there I should be most happy to see you[.] Tomorrow I must lecture5 & until after the lecture must keep my thoughts together & see no one[.] The lecture begins at 3 & is over at 4 o’clk. After lecture I shall of course be there[.] If you are passing either at 3 or 4 o’clk come in if you feel inclined[.]

On Monday again I shall be at home I am almost sure all the morning until 12 or 1 o’clk[.]

Ever My dear Sir | Very Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Revd. J. Miller | &c &c &c
