Faraday to Benjamin Vincent   20 August 1856

Royal Institution | 20 Aug 1856

My dear friend

I have delayed thus long that I might make as good a judgment as possible about the probability of my meeting you at Old Buckingham [sic][.] I think I can leave here on Friday by what train I cannot as yet say but hope to find out the Green by tea time if I can - & I think I must return on the Monday¹, how far these views may be modified I can<<not>> say for I have my [MS torn] & on next Wedn<<esday>> [MS torn] little house at <<Hornsey>>² [MS torn] <<Jane>>³ as you are aware is at Newcastle & therefore I am on extra duty. All friends here are pretty well and I hope to find you with Mrs Vincent & the family as you would wish to be. Here things look out of order but all matters are progressing⁴. You have the news as I hear so often that I cannot tell you any thing - though I dare say when we come to talking there will be enough to say[.]

Kindest remembrances to our friends from | Yours Ever Affectionately | M. Faraday

Address: Mr. Vincent | care of Mr. W. Fisher | Old Buckenham | Attleboro | Norfolk
