[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 29 Decr. 1859

My dear Frankland

I hope to begin my Juveniles on Saturday1 and wanting to use Colladion balloons apply to you to know if you can tell me where I can get them for I really do not know. Can you help me[.] If I get them by Tuesday2 that will do[.]

Mrs. Faraday had a letter from Tyndall dated Christmas Eve Geneva 3[.] The next day he was to start for Salenche [sic] & Chamouni[.] Plenty of snow - Give our kindest remembrances to Mrs. Frankland4 and with the heartiest wishes of all here with me for your health & happiness at this cheerful season & at all times[.]

Believe me to be | My dear Frankland | Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
