Faraday to Henry Stevens   29 September 1860¹

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 29 Septr. 1860

Sir

I received some time ago the enclosed letter dated Nov 23 1859 referring to a package No.710a[.]

I have just received a package from you which has no number on it or has lost its number but which I suppose to be No.710 since it contains the Smithsonian Report for 1858 & also the Coast survey for 1857 and other papers[.]

I beg with many thanks to acknowledge the receipt of these papers & have the honor to be

Sir | Your Very faithful Servant | M. Faraday

Henry Stevens Esqr | &c &c &c
