George Gabriel Stokes to Faraday   8 June 1854

Pembroke Coll. Cambridge | June 8th 1854

My dear Sir,

I much regret that I should have kept the pamphlet you sent me so long. I read it shortly after I got it, but then my lectures commenced, which for the time they lasted took up my attention; and as there were some points in it which I wished to refer to at leisure I kept it, not thinking how much time slipped away in the interval. I meant to [word illegible] one or two experiments in connexion with it, but of late I have had no sunlight. I hope that you have not in the mean time been wishing that you had it to refer to.

Believe me | Yours very truly | G.G. Stokes
