My dear Sir
Herewith I return Coll Sabines paper1 with congratulations that we have such an one to work in such a manner for the cause of science in relation to terrestrial magnetism. There are very few who would undertake the labour of such comparative & analytical labours and none who could do them better[.] As far as I may be permitted to judge I consider his investigations as of the utmost value to science.
Ever My dear Sir | Very Truly Yours | M. Faraday
