Faraday to Thomas Twining   19 June 1849

Royal Institution | 19 June 1849

My dear Sir

I am ashamed that I have not acknowledged your kindness before but the occupation caused by many little matters at this time of the year & the manner in which through an infirm memory they push each other out of my mind must be my excuse. The flowers which you have been so kind as to send us are very pleasant & very acceptable & the kindness of the act far more acceptable. My wife joins with me in offering sincerest thanks to you for them.

I am My dear Sir | Very faithfully Yours | M. Faraday

Thos. Twining Esq | &c &c &c
