Royal Institution | 20 May 1850
My dear Robinson
All the best glass is gone long ago but I send you a piece of such as I have and if that will do any good I can spare you a piece or two more like it.
I shall send you a paper soon (nothing particular) which I sent in to the Royal Society at the end of last year & of which I have only now received copies2. Is not that keeping up with the Rail road & the Electric telegraph?
I do not know any body who could prepare the report you speak of. My memory is now so bad that I not only forget the matter itself but I forget also the men who have it. I wish very much such a summary existed[.]
Ever My dear friend Very | Truly Yours | M. Faraday
