Sir

In reference to the plan & specification accompanying your letter of the 31 January1. I have seen Messrs Walker & Co thereon and in conjunction with them have agreed on certain changes to avoid shadow as much as possible - I have also seen the amended plan & drawing which I approve of, but have returned it to Messrs Walker & Co for the emendation of two clerical errors and have asked them to send it when so amended to you2[.]

I have the honour to be | Sir | Your faithful humble Servant | M. Faraday

P.H. Berthon Esqr | &c &c
