Faraday to Mary Fox   14 January 1851

Royal Institution | 14 Jany 1851

My dear Mrs. Fox

I understand you wish for a ticket for my next Evening here1. I hasten to send one & only wish I could offer you such assurance of accommodation as would be certain to make you comfortable. I cannot give you power to go into the inner circle with Mr Fox for that belongs to Members or else to their Lady friends which Lady Members invite and as my wife is not a member she cannot take you there. She will be most happy to take charge of you - but I say all this because fearing a crowd I fear to make you uncomfortable at [sic] unawears - and would rather therefore mention the matter before hand.

Ever My dear Mrs Fox | Yours faithfully | M. Faraday
