Faraday to Third Earl of Rosse   1 December 18551

1 Decr. 1855

My dear Lord Rosse

I do not know what ought to be done2 but as I have received no official information as yet so I am waiting until I do. At the same time I should say that Dumas wrote to me in the way of private friendship3 & I have written back to him4[.]

I do not doubt that some communication will come to us in due time[.]

Ever Very Truly Yours | M. Faraday

William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse (1800-1867, ODNB). Irish astronomer. President of the Royal Society, 1848-1854.
