[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | Monday Evening

My dear friend

I have just received a most kind note from Coll. Phipps¹ in which he says for the Queen that her Majesty will give orders for the thorough repair of the house inside & out. I am about to accept[,] in the terms which I think I ought to use[,] this most gracious offer²[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
