Jacob Herbert to Faraday   16 December 1852

Trinity House | 16 Decemr. 52

My dear Sir, -

I learn with regret that your absence from London has not been attended by all the benefit we might have desired - but I hope you will Continue to improve in health, and that when I next have the pleasure of seeing you, it will be with your usual energy & spirits.

I have written this day to Dr. Watson requesting him to put himself in Communication with you, in order that such arrangements may be made with the object of testing his Electric Light, as respects it’s application for the Illumination of Light Houses,- as you may deem most advisable¹.

I remain, | My dear Sir, | Very faithfully Yours | J. Herbert

M: Faraday Esq.
