Faraday to Lambert-Adolphe-Jacques Quetelet   4 September 1865

London | 4 Septr. 1865.

My Very dear friend

I enclose the receipted list¹ as you desire with many thanks for the works. I have to leave London often and so lost the opportunity of seeing M Melsens² who called the other day but did not learn the address he was at in London and I fear he has now left[.] As I shall not be at the British Association³ I fear I shall miss him if I do I hope you will remember me to him[.] I find it very laborious to write and fear you will scarcely be able to read this letter but my powers are going[.] Yours make a difference or I would write to you oftener than I do and thank you[.] But I remember former kindness & am as ever

dear Quetelet | Yours faithful friend | M. Faraday
