Faraday to Robert Mallet   28 November 1859

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | Albemarle St W. | 28 Novr. 1859

My dear Sir

I thank you heartily for your notice. The auroral period which it refers to was wonderful & I do not at all doubt the fact. I was at that time in Scotland & the phenomena were wonderful. The auroral influence must have been simultaneous for the whole earth1[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Robt. Mallet Esqr | &c &c &c


Address: Robert Mallet Esq | &c &c &c | 1 Grosvenor Terrace | Monckstown | Co. Dublin

See Ann.Reg.,1859, 101: 128-9 for this aurora which occurred on 28-29 August 1859.
