Faraday to Charles Lock Eastlake   18 June 1859

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | Albemarle St W | 18 June 1859

My dear Sir Charles

I am on a Committee appointed to consider the lighting of picture galleries by gas¹ - and I think I had better not give any answer to your enquiries² until this Committee has met - which it will do next week[.]

Ever faithfully Yours | M. Faraday

Sir Charles Eastlake | P.R.A. | &c &c &c
