Faraday to Justus Liebig   14 August 1852

Royal Institution | 14 August 1852

My dear Liebig

I profit by the occasion of a visit of a friend of mine to Munich to send you a note by way of hearty remembrances. it seems strange to associate you with any place but Giessen: still I hope you will find a happy home in the great city and that you will now & then think of me there. I have been within its walls but now I forget it altogether & cannot recall it to my mind1. Mr. Blaikley2 my friend whom I beg to introduce to you hopes to see its pictorial treasures well. Any aid which in that respect you can give him will be esteemed a great favour both by him & me. If you have heard from Dr Williamson lately he may have said something to you about Coll. Sykes. I wrote to Coll. Sykes a week or two ago3 & his answer was very kind in respect of both the names of Liebig & Faraday.

Ever My dear Friend | Yours Truly | M. Faraday

My wife’s kind remembrances. She often speaks of York4.
