Faraday to Caroline Deacon   2 September 1855

[RI embossed letterhead] | Sydenham | 2 Sept. 1855

My dear Caroline

I must write a word of love & affection to you - though as to an answer to your letter or reasons for this or that I will refer you to mine to Margery accompanying this - I rejoice you are altogether once more and in a place that I hope will do you good in health - give you delight in its beauties - and have many remembrances for the future. I should like to be with you but am best at home with my dear wife[.] Give my love to that great girl Constance & if she has forgotten me raise up some idea of me in her mind that will serve for present use and when you write home remember me kindly to your husband who if I recollect is somehow engaged now in chemical pursuits which I have left[.] Adieu my dear niece[.] May love joy & peace be with you.

Your Affectionate Unkle | M Faraday
