7th Earl of Shaftesbury to Faraday   29 December 1854¹

St. Giles House | Dec: 29, 1854

My dear Mr Faraday

I am much gratified by your kindness in sending me an admission to your Xmas lectures².

I sincerely wish that my Children were in town to hear them; but I shall hope to come & hear some of them myself.

Yours Truly | Shaftesbury

M. Faraday Esq
