Faraday to John Tyndall   31 October 1854

Royal Institution, | Oct. 31, 1854.

My dear Tyndall,

I send the enclosed letter from MM. Van Breda and Logeman¹ to you as an Editor of the Philosophical Magazine. If you should judge it proper for insertion in that Journal, I shall be very happy to see it there², but will beg you to accompany it on my part with the observation that it is not so conclusive in proving the negative (a thing very difficult to do) as to move me at present from the reserved condition of mind which I have recently expressed in respect of this matter³.

Ever yours truly, | M. Faraday
