Faraday to Angela Georgina Burdett Coutts   15 January 1862¹

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] |15 Jany 1861 [sic]

Dear Miss Coutts

Your kindness comes in no questionable shape; for though I am getting a little Old for a pantomime, yet I like to see a few young folks happy; and I like to accept a favour so freely offered as yours is. Very many thanks to you for it. I have taken the Tuesday order & return the Monday order herewith.

As to the other matter Mr Barlow gave me a suspicion of the form it might take and we thank you very much for it before hand. Your practical matters have an interest about them which irradiates what in the hands of others would partake much more of the nature & usages of common life[.]

Ever Your faithful Servant | M. Faraday
