Pembroke College Cambridge | Feb 25th 1853
Dear Prof. Faraday,
I deferred answering your letter in hopes of being able to say that I had sent the M.S. of the abstract of my lecture1. However I do not wish to delay longer, though I can only say that it is in progress.
With respect to your other question, I have not been at any expense about instruments, as what I used I had previously, with the exception of a single piece of coloured glass. As to my travelling expenses, which do not come to much, it is not my wish to be repaid, I should prefer leaving it as it stands.
Believe me | Yours very truly | G.G. Stokes
