Faraday to Thomas Henry Huxley   1 May 1856

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 1 May 1856

My dear Huxley

One great difficulty is removed by your kindness in undertaking the direction of the proposed illustrative collection¹:- but before I go to the managers I ought to know what would be the probable full cost involved in carrying out the plan, both with regard to that of the specimens & that of providing for their reception:- otherwise I doubt whether the managers would be able to form any notion of its feasability or fitness. Can you help me in this matter?

Ever Yours | M. Faraday
