Charles John Huffam Dickens to Faraday   11 December 1850

Devonshire Terrace | Eleventh December 1850.

My dear Sir

Will you do me the favor to accept the accompanying book¹ - a poor mark of my respect for your public character and services, and my remembrance of your private kindness in so generously lending me your valuable notes².

Concerning which, let me say that I have them in safe keeping, and will shortly return them. The gentleman³ who has them to refer to, still tells me when I ask if he has done with them, “that they are not so easily exhausted, and that they suggest something else.”

My Dear Sir | Yours faithfully and obliged | Charles Dickens

Professor Faraday.
