William Thomson to Faraday   13 September 1859

Royal Hotel, | Aberdeen, Sep 13, 1859

My dear Sir

We only heard of your being in Aberdeen1is afternoon, and Mr. Crum hopes you will take up your quarters with him as long as you are in Aberdeen. He regrets that he did not know of your arrival last night. I wrote from Arran last week2 but could not get my letter off because of the weather, and I have carried it about me trying to learn your address. I leave it along with this for you.

We dine at Mr. Crum’s, 15 Union Place (Mrs. Gray’s3) at 6 today, and shall hope to see you at dinner. We shall be at home the whole evening and if this does not reach you in time for dinner I hope you will come as soon as you are disengaged. Your room is ready at Mr. Crum’s.

Believe me | Yours very truly | W. Thomson
