James Walker to Faraday   2 October 1854

My dear Mr Faraday

As the Casquets will be No. 1 of your plan for improved ventilation I have said that the stoves sh[oul]d be of the size & form you approve, and am desired to consult with you respecting them. If you sh[oul]d be passing this way, to or from elsewhere will you kindly look in. I shall be at home tomorrow morning & forenoon; but Mr Cooper1 will be in the way all Wednesday2 also. It is desirable to have the stoves sent over3[.]

I am | My dear Sir | very sincerely | J. Walker
