Faraday to William Francis Cowper   7 August 1860

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 7 Aug 1860

Dear Sir

I am very much obliged by your kind consideration of me¹. I cannot analyse M. Szerelmeys preparations[.] It is especially proper that I should not do so - for I was bound at first to give an opinion without knowing the composition and I would rather not alter my position now. There can be no possible objection to an analysis made at Jermyn Street[.]

Ever Your faithful Servant | M. Faraday

The Right Honble. | William Cowper M.P. | &c &c &c &c
