Henry Hart Milman to Faraday   21 January 18571

Deanery St Pauls. E.C. Jany. 21.

My dear Mr Faraday.

I have received a letter from Lord Broughton2, Chairman of our commission3, pressing that we should hold our first meeting on the 28th of this month. Not knowing your direction he has requested me to communicate with you. Will [you] be so kind as to write me word whether that day would suit you, or write direct to Lord Broughton - | Erlestoke | Westbury | Wilts.

The government settle our place of meeting. I am most glad to find myself your colleague[.]

Believe me, | Most very truly yours | H.H. Milman
