John Peter Gassiot to Faraday   3 February 1858

Wednesday Eve

My dear Faraday

You left your pencil case on the Table which I return I am afraid you were a little fagged today¹[.]

I avail myself of the opportunity to enclose a note of two facts², both of which I will shew you when we next meet.

If there are experiments which occur to you & which I can make I will do my best. Never mind your reasons, merely say try so & so, and I will then endeavour to vary the conditions, and not take any thing for granted[.]

Truly yours | J.P. Gassiot

M Faraday Esq
