Thomas Phillipps to Faraday   22 February 1850

Middle Hill | Broadway | 22 F 50

My dear Sir

A lady has asked me for a Gentleman one of her friends, my permission to let him use my Ticket for the Evening Meetings on Friday at your Institution.

As I am not aware that I can transfer my Ticket, I write to you to ask the real state of the Case.

If there is one thing more than another why I regret my distance from London it is my inability to attend your beautiful Lectures on Electricity. For as it is the Science which governs the World, He who developes it the most, approaches the nearest to the knowledge of His Maker.

I hope you are in the enjoyment of the best Health & with my very best regards believe me always

My dear Sir | Most truly Yours | Thos Phillipps

Michl Faraday Esq
