John Crichton1 to Faraday   6 September 18552

Dundee | 6 December [sic] 1855

Very Dear Brother

Some of our Friends here say they have observed your name as one of the members of the British Association for the promotion of Science who are to hold a meeting at Glasgow on the 12th of this month and as Glasgow is only about three hours distant by Rail from this are anticipating that you may be induced to prolong your Journey to Dundee and so enjoy the happiness of being once more filled with your Company[.]

If so ordered I need not say how happy I shall be by your making my House your Home whilst here and again in my old age enjoying the Liveliness of your Company along with as many of the Brethren as the Room will contain[.]

With kindest Regard to you Mrs F and all enquiring friends I am

Very Dear Brother | Affectionately Yours | Jno Crichton

Professor Faraday
