Faraday to Smith¹   Undated

R Institution | Monday Mg

Sir

I regret to find that my friend Mr Robert Balmanno² of Craven street is not the person mentioned with the list of Vestrymen[.] Nor is Mr Robert Brown³ of Mecklenburgh Square the same Mr Brown⁴ that I should have written to for you[.] So that I cannot in these respect[s] be of any use to you[.] I will however keep the lists &c that should an opportunity occur I may be able to use it[.]

I am Sir | Your Obedient Servant | M. Faraday

Mr Smith | &c
