Royal Institution | 13 June 1855
My dear Sir Emerson
You are very kind and I thank you sincerely for the invitation2 but I must not accept it as I am known never to dine out in the circles of Society[.]
The fragment of mirror I will keep a few days & then return[.]
I have been puzzling my head ever since Saturday3 trying to remember whom I had promised to send the Aluminium4 to. I now send it - thanking you much for your kindness & hope you will excuse my forgetfulness
I am | Very Truly Yours | M Faraday
