Faraday to John Tyndall   21 October 1851

Lee Road, | 21 Oct. 1851.

My dear Sir,

Many thanks for your note and the paper1 and the testimonials2. I hope you will obtain your desire at Toronto. I have read the paper briefly, but must do so again: at present I am writing, or rather copying, a paper on lines of force, which touches the point of Polarity, so that it is only hereafter I shall be able to collate all together. I propose giving the paper in to the Royal Society today3.

Ever truly yours, | M. Faraday.

Dr. J. Tyndall, | &c. &c. &c.
