Lower Mall | Hammersmith | June 4. 1858
Dear Faraday
I shall have all my telegraphs at work tomorrow (Saturday) from 12 to 3, and I shall be glad to see you if you think it necessary to take another lesson. I will bring you on Monday the rough drafts of my provisional specifications and some other papers which will enable you to make notes for your lecture1; and if you can spare an hour after the meeting we will go over them together. I will also bring a dial for experiments with the electric light. It may be as well for you to read the description of my dial telegraph as it existed in 1840 published in the 2nd edition of Daniell’s Chemical Philosophy p.5782.
Yours very truly | C. Wheatstone
