Faraday to Jean-Baptiste-André Dumas   3 February 1852

Royal Institution | 3 Feby 1852

My dear Friend

I would not on any account that you should have the least anxiety added to your present heavy charge on my account¹, I would far rather if that were possible help to remove some from you, but each of us have our burden in life and though mine be a light one it has not rendered me unable to sympathize with my friends. As to the special subject I would on no account desire that it should be injured by hasty production and I hope you will in due time find leisure enough to develop it in all its beauty[.] Our kindest remembrances to Madame Dumas and to yourself my kind friend.

Ever Most Truly Yours | M. Faraday

A Monsieur | Monsieur Dumas | &c &c &c
