George Herbert to Faraday   14 August 1858

<qr>Private

My dear Sir

I find the minute of the Board requesting you to treat Major Fitz-Maurice’s communications with strict confidence has not been carried out, - I have therefore thought it most advisable with reference to our conversation yesterday, to send you the accompanying Letter¹ informing you of it,- and any observations you may think it right to offer will take their place in due sequence-

Always most faithfully yours | George Herbert

Trinity House | 14 Augt 1858

P.S. I will forward you the Copy of your Letter of the 21st ult.² to the Board, on Monday.

Professor Faraday F.R.S.
