Faraday to Henry Bence Jones   19 August 1856

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 19 Aug 1856

My dear Bence Jones

Thank you heartily for a sight of Cahours note¹. I had heard just about as much of Regnault² & I suppose as the time increases so may our hopes. I half incline to hope you are off nevertheless I send the note back at once as you may want it. We are going to Hornsey next week: As the weather is, I am glad it is not this week for I think town is best. But I trust you will have or are having a prosperous journey and are away from under this cloud & rain. Health & happiness be with you[.]

Ever Yours | M. Faraday
