James Hall Nasmyth to Faraday1   6 August 1863

Penshurst | Kent | Aug[u]st. 6. 1863

My Dear Sir

In case you should not have met with Sir John Herschells account of the Sun I have taken the liberty to send you the copy of “Good Words” that contains it2.

In the same number of “Good words” you will find a paper on Coal 3 by Professor Rogers4 which I think is well worth a perusal[.]

Pray pardon this intrusion on your kind attention[.]

Believe me I am | your most faithful | James Nasmyth

Professor Faraday | &c &c &c
