Faraday to George Gabriel Stokes   11 June 1860

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 11 June 1860.

My dear Stokes

I am very grateful for your kindness¹ though I had not ventured to presume on troubling you except by the general question whether the account was worth appearance in the proceedings or any where else at the R.S. - I quite go with you in all you say and think that the paper had better be withdrawn altogether if it can be. I want no other opinion than yours & my own.

I hope my acknowledgment will catch you at Southsea or at least follow you to London safely.

Ever Your Very Obliged | M. Faraday

G.G. Stokes Esqr | &c &c &c
