Faraday to Thomas Newborn Robert Morson   24 July 18601

The Green | Hampton Court | 24 July 1860.

My dear Morson

A friend of ours whom we both respect very highly (but who does not wish his name mentioned at present) has asked me who are the Manufacturers of Chemical, not of mere Soda or bleaching powder, but for scientific photographic & general use. His object may be to introduce his son into the trade and I (who know not of my own knowledge) promised to enquire. I do not know whom to enquire at so likely as you. Can you give me the names of some. I do not suppose there are many[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Thomas Newborn Robert Morson (1799-1874, ODNB). Pharmaceutical chemist.
