Faraday to Caroline Deacon   Between 1847 and 1858

My dear Caroline

In reply to yours of a day or two ago I send a letter for Mr. Pattinson¹. I have also written to him on the matter knowing by myself that one likes to be preinformed of such things and that he might look about him[.] If Thomas were to delay calling two days or three he might perhaps be more ready with suggestions or advice. I hope the introduction may prove useful not doubting for a moment Mr. Pattinson’s good will. When are we to <<MS torn>> by Margery <<MS torn>> it seems very long since I saw any thing of any of you[.] You know how things fade from my memory - and by the bye you may tell Margery that just to stir her up on her way home. I cannot imagine any good that either she or you can do in a certain affair. Give my earnest love to Thomas I would send wishes and so on but they are always with you:- and that little provocative Constance. I have not heard any of her sayings for some time past and yet I cannot imagine either her eye or her tongue or her imaginative judgment as being less sharp than heretofore. Give her a kiss for me.

Ever My dear Caroline | Your Affectionate Unkle
