[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 20 May 1863

Dear Anstead [sic]

I hope we shall not put you to any inconvenience but H.R.H. the Prince of Wales will be here in the lecture room by his own appointment, privatelyfrom 12 until 1 o’clk tomorrow to see certain experiments2[.] From what I learn from Anderson there will be abundant time for your preparation after 1 o’clk. If there should be any thing in your preparation for tomorrow requiring more time drawing[s] could be put up before 11 o’clk & remain up during his visit[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
