Faraday to Henry Thomas De La Beche   29 June 1849

R Institution | 29 June 1849

Dear De la Beche

Lyell said he would move you to put the R Institution down in a list of places to which the Government wanted to give 40 copies of a work1 (Forbes2 I think). We are making exertions in our Library & if you can help us in this case do for I say it modestly we desire your help[.]

Ever Yours | M. Faraday
