William Thomson to Faraday   19 August 1859

Invercloy, Arran | by Ardrossan, Aug 19 | 1859

My dear Sir

Is there any possibility that you will be present at the approaching meeting of the British Association? I write to say that Mr. James Crum, an uncle of my wife’s has taken a house at Aberdeen for the time, and that it would be considered a great honor if you would join our party and take up your quarters with him. I fear that there is little chance of your not being otherwise engaged if you intend to be present, but it would be so great a pleasure to have you along with us that I would not like to lose the chance, small as it may be[.]

Believe me | Yours very truly | William Thomson

Professor Faraday
