The Green, Hampton Court. | 25, September, 1863.
Sir, - I hasten to acknowledge your letter, for I freely admit my belief that you are perfectly sincere and truthful in your account of experiments. Nevertheless I refer you to my former letter2 for my answer now.
Your observation that you have the greatest confidence in your colleagues makes me smile when I call to mind certain investigations that have come to my knowledge in former cases.
I do not doubt your competency to check the facts if you are willing to work with an unbiassed mind; but I decline to enter upon the matter.
Very truly yours, | M. Faraday.
R. Cooper, Esq.
