[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 16 Feby. 1856

My dear Sir

I return the Niepce¹ memoir and papers² with many thanks[.] The account of his life is very interesting:- he must have much happiness in the pursuit of his subject. The subject [word illegible] you is a result of his method described in the first paper in the book[.]

I am | My dear Sir | Very Truly Yours | M. Faraday
