Faraday to John Hall Gladstone   21 November 1859

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 21. Novr. 1859

My dear Gladstone

I am much obliged by your letter. A week or two since I passed some days on the French Coast¹ with M Reynaud the Chief of the Lighthouses department & M. Degrand the Engineer & they told me of their experiments at Paris on the Magneto electric light. I think they must have made out a good point or two especially as relates to the nature of the carbons. Kindest regards to Mrs. Gladstone²[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
