Sarah Faraday to Thomas Henry Farrer   31 July 1866

Hampton Court Green | 31st July 1866

Dear Sir

Your second letter¹ addressed to Mr. Faraday arrived this morning and as his state of health renders him unable at present to take your proposition into consideration, I venture to answer it & to say that we shall feel glad to let the matter stand over until Dr. Tyndalls return from Switzerland, he was so kind & ready with his help, that I think with you, that it is due to him to wait for his return - It was in consequence of Mr. Faradays feeling uneasy at keeping the position, that his last letter was sent², & he much regretted that it had not been done some months earlier.

The warm regard you have always shewn to my dear husband makes me feel that I am writing to a friend who sympathizes with me in the grief I am in at his present low state - -

With many thanks dear Sir for your kind thought I am | Yours very sincerely | S. Faraday

T.H. Farrer Esqre
