William Withey Gull1 to Faraday2   22 October 1852

8 Finsbury Sq | Oct 22 1852

My dear Sir,

I am almost ashamed of the time I have kept the abstract of Du Bois Reymond’s labours3. The book was laid on one side and overlooked. I am much obliged to you for its perusal.

Yours very faithfully | William W. Gull
