My dear Chevallier
I know your kindness towards my nephew Mr Buchanan for he has spoken of it with a grateful heart2. I hear he is in some trouble with his workmen one of whom has attempted to assas[s]inate him. I hope if you see him and perceive that he wants advice in his manner of dealing in this matter & with his men that you will do me the great favour of guiding & cautioning him. I cannot judge at this distance of the cause of the difference or assault but I hear it is before the authorities & so presume you will know more of it than I do.
Ever My dear Chevallier | Your faithful Servant | M. Faraday
The | Chevallier Volpicelli | &c &c &c &c
