James Timmins Chance to Faraday   5 September 1860

Hamstead Birmingham | 5 Sept. 1860

My dear Sir,

I have just received your interesting communication¹.

Everything shall be prepared immediately for trying two upper reflecting panels at Spon Lane. I want to arrange about a proper screen to receive the light, & other matters; but everything will be ready by Monday next².

Please to say by the return of post when I may expect to see you here.

Could you bring some kind of photometer?

I have ordered one to be made; but it will not be ready for your arrival.

What you call a trouble in reference in taking up you abode with me, I consider a great pleasure & honor conferred on myself & my family.

Pray do not go to any hotel, or such like.

I quite understand, & will attend to, the instructions wh: you give concerning the Whitby Lights. The different trials will be most valuable & instructive.

Most truly yours | J.T. Chance
