Faraday to Isabella Ann Herries1   3 June 1861

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 3 June 1861

Dear Miss Herries

I have not been a Member of the Athenaeum for many years2. I think I must have paid towards £200 there for which I had one dinner (which was paid for again) - it was too dear for me - Else I should have been very glad to vote as you desire[.]

Very many thanks for your book recommendation[.] My wife & niece desire their best remembrances[.]

Ever Yours | M. Faraday


Address: Miss I.A. Herries | St Julians | near Seven Oaks | Kent
