Faraday to Harriet Susan Miller1   10 June 1862

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 10 June 1862

My dear Mrs. Miller

With the warmest thanks for all your kindness yesterday2[.] I send you the photograph, feeling much honored by your desire to have it. My wife sends her earnest acknowledgements of your kindness to me. I told her all about it. I hope Professor Miller3 caught no cold by the wetting[.]
