William Edward Fitzmaurice to Faraday   6 July 1858

Hamilton Lodge | Kensington Gore | Tuesday July 6, 1858

Dear Sir

I fear that I must have made some mistake in my note. I have asked Lord Lansdowne¹ and a few other friends here on Friday evng. next the 9th July at half past ten, and I wished you to have such time here on that Evng. From what I had heard I expected that the trial of the Trinity Board would have taken place tonight at Blackwall or whereever their official trials come off. Whether it be so or not I have not heard and I am uncertain whether they would send to me about it as all the apparatus is at Mr Wilkins[.]

Yours faithfully | W.E. Fitzmaurice

I send this by hand fearing my note of this morng may not come in time[.]
