Faraday to William Whewell   29 October 1849

Royal Institution | 29 Oct. 1849

My dear Sir

Mr. Barlow asks me to support his application to you for a Friday Evg in the coming season1. I would most willingly do so for our sakes and my own gratification but considering to whom I write I feel I ought not to say more than if such a thing comes within the scope of your convenience & willingness it will be the source of very high delight and of something more to me[.]

Ever My dear Sir | Your Obliged Servant | M. Faraday

Revd. Dr. Whewell | &c &c &c

Whewell did not give a Friday Evening Discourse during 1850.
