Faraday to Henry Ellis   16 July 1851

Tynemouth | North Shields | 16 July 1851

My dear Sir Henry

I received your note here and am sorry you could not have an answer by the day you wished. I should have been happy to have assisted in a good cause but I shall not be in town perhaps for some months & therefore am unable to meet the wishes of the Trustees1[.]

Ever My dear Sir Henry | Your faithful Servant | M. Faraday

Sir Henry Ellis Bart | &c &c &c

The Trustees of the British Museum had requested, on 12 July 1851, Faraday’s advice on cleaning metal objects discovered by the archaeologist Austen Henry Layard (1817-1894, DNB1) in the Middle East.
