Faraday to Samuel Warren   20 January 1853

R Institution | 20 Jany 1853

My dear Sir

The discourse¹ will begin at 9 o’clk but the Library is open at 8 o’clk & the Lecture room at 1/2 p 8 o’clk. I am proud of the thought of your being there² but have not much to say and having an oppressive cold am in a poor state to say it. I am pretty well worn out and you must not either in your thoughts or your writings expect much more from a pitcher that has been often to the well & has received some fractures[.]

Ever Very Truly Yours | M. Faraday
