Faraday to Roderick Impey Murchison   7 March 1860

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 7 March 1860

My dear Sir Roderick

It seems by a letter I have had from the Office of Works1 that you and I are to examine in concert certain stone work preparation at the New Palace of Westminster. I shall be out of town to day and entirely occupied on Friday with my F.E. subject2 - but I could go tomorrow morning being back here by two o’clk or I could go on Saturday Morning. Will either of these suit you? If so at what hour and where shall we meet? at your Museum or the Office of Works or at Westminster. Mr. Phipps the assistant Surveyor of Works is to show us two particular Bays.

Ever My dear Sir Roderick | faithfully Yours | M. Faraday
