Faraday to George Biddell Airy   8 December 1854

R Institution | 8 Decr. 1854

My dear Sir

Mr Barlow has put me down for the F. Evg of Jany. 19th. i.e the first Evening¹)[.] You I think consent to favour us on the third ie Feby 2nd². Having undertaken the Juvenile lectures at Christmas extending to the 9th. January³ I feel I should be glad to be later in my Friday. Do not think I wish to draw on your good nature & so cause any inconvenience but if it should happen to be nearly the same to you, there are so many that would feel a delight in hearing you open our season that I thought I would put the case before you[.]

Ever Yours faithfully | M. Faraday

Geo B. Airy Esq | &c &c &c
