Warwick Cottage | New Road | Hammersmith | Tuesday 13th Sep

My dear Sir

Many thanks for your kind note2 & the news. I conclude I shall hear officially for I presume forms are important and I wish to be correct. In fact I have taken care to keep the history of the case clear being somewhat surprized at the impediment that was at first thrown in the way

Your Very Obliged | M. Faraday

G.R. Waterhouse Esqr | &c &c &c
