Faraday to Charles Babbage   24 February 1854

R Institution | 24 Feby 1854

My dear Babbage

I think the best thing I can do is to send you my copy of Gmelin1 Vol II and ask you to look at the upper half of page 622 - it contains more information than I could give you. I do not know whether you ever lend books if so I trust you get them back again in due time[.]

Ever Yours | M. Faraday
