Faraday to Edward Solly   11 December 1852¹

Royal Institution | 11 Decr. 1852

My dear Solly

I really am not well enough to undertake duty at the Adelphi and you must excuse me. I have been trying to settle my head at Brighton this last three weeks that I might be able to get through my small proportion of work here and yet I am by no means sure that I shall be able to do so. Whilst I give up all friendly society the bodies must excuse me.

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
