William Gregory to Faraday   29 January 18571

Edinburgh 29 Jany | 1857

My dear Sir

Dr. F. de Chaumont2, formerly a pupil of mine, has begged me to give him an introduction to you. He proposes to settle in London as a medical man, and takes much interest in chemical and physical science.

You will find him a most excellent young man, and one on whom any kindness will be well bestowed.

Trusting that you are in good health, I am

Yours faithfully | William Gregory
