My dear Sir

Mr. Josiah Deacon1 who has just returned after many years absence to this Country from Russia seeks to have his recommendation to you as a reader in the British Museum strengthened. I know the care you have to take but hope you will allow me to state that I have known his family for many years and that he deserves the privilege & will use it honourably and usefully.

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

- Panizzi Esq | &c &c &c
