Faraday to George Biddell Airy   18 November 1859

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 18 Novr. 1859 | London W.

My dear Sir

I and we thank you most heartily for your kind letter¹[.] The class of subjects you mention is exactly what I was thinking off [sic] and as to what is not yet done your views of the future is as you may believe equal in interest to your doings in the past. As to the much apparatus required I think Latimer Clark would help us all he could and for the illustration &c of a discourse by you I think. I may answer for any expence incurred under ten guineas[.]

If you decide to lay us under obligation and are as yet free in respect of time would any part of March be agreeable? or else settle your own time letting us know when you can²[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

G.B. Airy Esqr | &c &c &c
