William Thomson to Faraday   9 September 1859

Invercloy, Arran, | Sep 9, 1859

My dear Sir

I enclose a letter I have received from Dr. Fleming1, our professor of Moral Philosophy, in answer to petitions regarding the correspondence between Leibnitz2 and Dr. Samuel Clarke3.

Mr. Crum’s address in Aberdeen is

Mrs. Gray’s4 | 15 Union Place | Aberdeen.

I go there along with Mrs. Thomson, on Monday5, and we shall hope to see you on your arrival in Aberdeen6.

Believe me | Yours very truly | William Thomson
