Faraday to George Biddell Airy   10 November 1854

Royal Institution | 10 Novr. 1854

My dear Sir

Very hearty thanks for your kindness¹. Whatever the results of the special investigation I long to hear your thoughts on the whole subject². I think they said in America that even the difference of high & low water on a sea coast would be sensible or had been sensibly shewn I cannot recollect which. By sinking into the earth you have far more than that to handle[.] Besides I long to know whether the earths electricity or magneto-electrical action shews any signs of life in your results³[.]

I have not seen Mr. Barlow since I received your letter but I am sure he would say the Season is, as to date, all before you. No doubt he would be glad to know that he might arrange the dates for other[s.] Let it be early if it be the same to you. I suppose we shall begin the end of January[.]

Ever My dear Sir | Yours Very Truly | M. Faraday
