Faraday to Henry Bence Jones   12 October 1854

R Institution | 12 Octr. 1854

My dear friend

My hours here have not been such as gave me the choice of seeing you or I should have thanked you for past recent kindness & asked for more - for you gave my wife a prescription containing petrol &c to aid her on the occurrence of white spots in her mouth & concurrent derangement of stomach & I can not find it. Anderson tells me you are to be in the Laboratory tomorrow morning. Can you remember enough to write it for her & he will send it to Surbiton. I trust very freely to your kindness and often feel some reproof in calling so freely upon it.

With Sincerest thanks | Ever Yours most truly | M. Faraday

Dr. B. Jones | &c &c &c
