Faraday to John Barlow   1 April 1858

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 118 King’s Road | Brighton | 1 April 1858

My dear Barlow

I have received the enclosed. It is from the Engraver Burnet1 I think an associate of the Academy perhaps but my memory is sadly tenuous. I have written to tell him arrangements are all made as I believe but that I shall send his letter to you as the directing spirit. I do not suppose you will see any thing in the profer to take advantage of. Perhaps you would not mind dropping him a line - I think he has published a good work on art2.

Ever Yours | M. Faraday

John Burnet (1784-1868, ODNB). Painter, engraver and writer on art.
