Faraday to Margaret Thomson   5 January 1865

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | London | Thursday 5 Jany | 1865.

Dear Mrs. Thomson

Very sincere thanks for your kind present & for your kinder remembrance. I cannot consent to let another answer for me else Jeannie would do it - or my wife rather, but I would rather do it for myself and thank you for them too. They are very kind and take great care of me just when I am not worth it.

Please give my thoughts i.e. my remembrance to Thomson, once more My view of things is now much contracted but I ever think with great delight on the pleasure which I had at the meeting at Aberdeen¹ & also again near Glasgow at Your fathers house²[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Mrs. Thomson | &c &c &c
