Faraday to Anne Brodie¹   2 November 1852

Royal Institution | 2 Novr. 1852

My dear Lady Brodie

We are very grateful for your kind & quick assent to our request²[.] The poor woman is a very deserving person in great need & my niece has gone to see that all points are rightly attended to. Your invitation is just in the same kind spirit. I wish our own circumstances were such as to make us able to accept it but I am greatly tied up in several ways and my dear wife has but little strength i.e in the limbs & so home is by far the fittest place for us[.]

With grateful remembrances to Sir Benjamin & yourself

I am as ever | Most faithfully Yours | M. Faraday
