Faraday to James Timmins Chance   21 August 1861

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 21 Aug 1861.

My dear Sir

I received your report¹ & have forwarded it². I think you did quite right under the circumstance[.] The power of examining & of adjusting which has been developed at the lighthouses & Spon Lane works makes me far more able to criticise & say what may & ought to be obtained[.]

I am leaving London for a few weeks & if you have occasion to write may not get your letters[.]

Ever Yours Truly | M. Faraday
