Faraday and Sarah Faraday to Mary Chater Barnard   9 February 1865

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | 9 Feby. 1865

Dear Mary

Here am I at home and unable to answer any question about you, even to were you out last night? - I fear I am becoming very selfish and I fear that you want comforting.- But can you come & see us:- I am afraid I shall only put things wrong so will leave my dear wife to say more[.]

Your Affectionate unkle | M. Faraday


Dear Mary

I am troubled at not hearing more of you & long to see you, if you are well will you come on Saturday early Jane will be glad to go to her fathers1 & cannot leave us without a substitute

Your affectionate Aunt | S. Faraday

Would you like to come on Friday evening better it is likely to be an interesting evening2 -
