Faraday to James Walker   20 December 1859

R Institution | 20 Decr. 1859

My dear Mr Walker

I intended to call on you and asked for a little confidential talk - but I have been seriously ill of sore throat & not able to leave the house - Now I am getting better & hope to lecture next Tuesday1 as announced but this illness has drawn off my preparations for the course (of 6 lectures) so much that I fear I cannot ask you to let me call on you before they are over. I should be glad however if you would give me general leave & let me know your usually convenient hour

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
