Sarah Faraday to John Tyndall   11 July 1860

Hampton Court | 11th. July. 1860.

Dear Dr Tyndall

I was in hopes of thanking you personally last Saturday1 for the flattering mark of your kind feeling which I received in the present of your book2, but as I did not see you, I must send a few words to tell you how highly I esteem it; I shall not attempt to speak of its merits for which I am quite incompetent, but I may say that in the little I have read so far, I see there is a great deal to interest even me[.]

Your short visit was very tantalizing, for we hope it will be repeated before long when we shall have more time.

Believe me dear Dr Tyndall | with warm interest in your welfare | Most sincerely yours | S. Faraday

That is 7 July 1860.
Tyndall (1860).
