Daniel Maclise1 to Faraday2   8 May 1860

May 8. 1860

Dear Sir

How weak is my poor ordinary vision when compared to that inner and more intense sense which enabled to you to detect the adulteration - one has heard and seen Eau d’Or but a Gelatine of gold is a novelty.

Very faithfully your’s | Danl Maclise
