George Biddell Airy to Faraday   2 September 1851

Royal Observatory Greenwich | 1851 Sept. 2

My dear Sir

Dr. Tyndall writes to me1 in reference to his candidature for a Toronto professorship. I had just read his last paper in the Phil. Mag.2 & thought it good. But he refers me distinctly to you - and thus I am as it were compelled to trouble you with the question whether you do not think him a good man?

Yours very truly, | G.B. Airy

Michael Faraday Esq | &c &c &c
