Faraday to Edwin Sidney   28 March 1850

Brighton | 28 Mar 1850

My dear Sir

I have just received the account of the Parasites1 you have been so kind as to send me & am much indebted to you for it. It brought back vividly the very pleasant & valuable evening you gave us2[.] With kindest remembrances to Mrs. Sidney I am my dear Sir –

Your truly Obliged | M. Faraday

Revd. E. Sidney | &c &c &

Sidney (1849).
Probably a reference to Sidney’s Friday Evening Discourse of 19 May 1848 on ‘The Motion of the Sap in Flowering Plants Connected with the Nutrition of Flowering Parasites’. See the report in Lit.Gaz., 27 May 1848, p.360.
