[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 5 Aug 1864
Dear Mrs. Greig
I hold myself deeply indebted to you for the fine portrait of that admirable woman your mother1. I rejoice to look at her resemblance & think of your account of her. I feel a happiness in her welfare & happiness[.] Long may she be a delight to you & all her friends[s.]
I am very well in health but not well toned in spirits - failing memory interferes greatly with mental enjoyments - but I have abundant ground for rejoicing Ever most truly yours.
M. Faraday
