James Copcutt to Faraday   4 January 18601

New Road, Aylesbury | Jan. 4. 1860

Professor Faraday,

My Dear Sir,

Having now successfully arranged the various departments of our new System of lighting - the “Fitzmaurice Light” - I am desired to convey (with his Comps.) the wishes of the Hon W.E. Fitzmaurice, (who is abroad) that you should at any time convenient to yourself, appoint a time privately to see the new arrangements, and make any enquiries you may wish respecting them, at his residence, “Conway Lodge, 12 Hyde Park Gate, W.”.

I have the pleasure to send to you (with my highest regards) a copy of my Pamphlet2 - a feeble effort - to explain to the Public as well as I am able. May I add that, with 48 hours notice I shall have more pleasure to meet you at “Conway Lodge” as above, at which place any communication will be most cheerfully attended to by

Yours sincerely | J. Copcutt

M. Faraday Esq
