Joseph John William Watson to Faraday   20 December 1852

11, Adam St | Adelphi | Decr. 20: 1852

Sir,

As you have kindly permitted me to select the time for the trials to be made of my lamp¹ if you have no objection I should prefer after the 10th of January as I fully anticipate the first experiment to be successful and then the after-trials, for 14 days may succeed as rapidly as you may wish.

I will endeavour to profit by your kind advice and I trust that you will not have to complain of my having brought before you an imperfect or impracticable invention[.]

I am | Sir | Your obliged and obedient Servant | Joseph J.W. Watson

M. Faraday Esq. D.C.L | &c &c &c

Since Writing the above I have received your notes and I shall make it a special object of care to observe rigidly the directions therein contained | J.J.W.W.
