George Richmond to Faraday   23 February 1857

10 York Str | Feb 23. 1857

My dear Sir

On reaching home1, I found that my good wife2 had invited Dr. Ogle3 to tea with us, so I must even give up the pleasure of coming to you this Evn though I send the sheet of colours & vehicles.

I will call on the chance of seeing you some afternoon just to read to you some of the written notes, under the colours which you may have difficulty in making out, as the writing is not very distinct[.]

I remain my dear Sir | Your very faithful Servant | Geo Richmond
