George Richmond to Faraday   21 March 18521

10 York Street | Portman Sq | Mar 21, 1852.

My dear Sir

I am very sorry to hear from Dr. Bence Jones that you are not well enough to keep your appointment with me for tomorrow. Perhaps it will be better to wait for your last sitting2 till these cold winds leave us and if they should take to doing so before Wednesday the 31st inst and you should be equal to a sitting then, would you kindly come to me on that morning at the old hour half past nine only please not to trouble yourself the least about it on my account if when the day comes, you should not feel quite up to sitting, but I hope you will be quite well again long before then

and have the honor to remain | My dear Sir | Your very truly obliged Servant | Geo Richmond

George Richmond (1809-1896, DNB). Portrait painter.
