Faraday to Francis Beaufort 18 June 1852¹

Royal Institution | 18 June 1852

My dear Sir Francis

I mentioned to you the kindness of the Duke of Northumberland in the matter of the Gymnoti but Dr. Bence Jones hardly knows how to profit by it (as you will see by the enclosed note²) because of uncertainty. Could you help us in this matter by ascertaining at some convenient opportunity what his Grace is able to do for us?
