Faraday to Benjamin Collins Brodie   29 April 1859

Green | Hampton Court SW. | 29 April 1859.

My dear Sir Benjamin

What between my ignorance of the German language and my bad memory I really do not feel in a condition to suggest to you names for the Medals¹. I should run the chance of wronging those whose papers have not come to my knowledge. You must apply to those who are more in the Society of Science and who (unlike me) are able to keep possession of their information when they have obtained it[.] Although I am obliged to say this I wish most heartily I could help you for nobody would be more advantaged by such ability than myself[.]

Ever Yours very Truly | M. Faraday
