Faraday to Prince of Wales   18 January 1856

Royal Institution | 18 January 1856

To | His Royal Highness | The Prince of Wales.

Sir

The favour Your Royal Highness has conferred upon me by a letter in your own hand¹, and the kind expressions it conveys, sink deep into my heart. I am most happy to think that the lectures have been a source of pleasure, and should be indeed glad if their most worthy subjects continued to interest you in the future². The remembrance of them was already very dear to me, but Your Royal Highness has added much to it.

That all good should be Yours is the earnest hope and wish of Your Royal Highness’s

Most grateful & most humble Servant | M. Faraday
