My dear Sopwith

I should have been very glad to have heard you next Tuesday2 but I am in town only for a few hours & shall not return to London before Friday. Many thanks for your kindness & the ticket, though being an honorary Member I should have forced my way in even without it i.e. if in London[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
