My dear friend
I have received your last of the 13th instant1. You will be weary of my thanks nevertheless I send them[.] The peroxide of barium I have has been very good in all former experiments - I hope tomorrow it will prove as good in those I shall report from your last - I do not at all doubt it. The evening does not come off until the 25th of next month2 but I have sent the tickets to Hampstead to Mr. Rumpf3 - and Miss Schoenbein - also to Miss Hornblower & others whom you know more or less.- I have had some of the German papers translated and hope I have got hold of the subject thoroughly if I can only keep it but memory is most treacherous & I am obliged to look at every reading to see whether ozone is <minus>O or <plus>O. I stick it before my eyes but that is a clumsy way[.]
You seem to me to be leading a very gay life. Well, I am happy you have health strength & spirits to do so:- that they may long continue with you is the earnest wish of
Ever Yours | M. Faraday
Dr Schoenbein | &c &c &c
