Faraday to Ernst Becker   20 April 1858

Albemarle Street, w.: April 20, 1858.

My dear Dr. Becker,-

I believe you know all about the extreme kindness shown to me in respect of one of Her Majesty’s houses at Hampton Court¹. I am in a little difficulty about either accepting or declining it. The manner in which it is offered to me is such as would make it grievous to me to decline it, and yet, if it is not improper, I should like to have a few words with you before I finally settle. At what hour could I call to see you, and where?

Ever your obliged, | M. Faraday
