Hampton Court | Green | 7 April 1860
Dear Sir
I received your paper2 & thank you for it. I had seen the communication to the Soc Arts of which I am a very old member. You are aware that I am restrained from giving any opinion on commercial matters having sacrificed all my Professional prospects many years ago that I might be freed from such occupation[.]
I am | Very Truly Yours | M. Faraday
