Faraday to Henry Thomas De La Beche1   Before 1855

R Institution | Thursday

My dear De la Beche

I really cannot get another ticket for you any where - and what is more I cannot get your friend in without a ticket for we expect to be very full - the managers will keep a sharp look out & there will be no smuggling. You must find some member who has not yet disposed of his tickets. I am very sorry.

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Henry Thomas De La Beche (1796–1855, ODNB). Director of the Geological Survey from 1835.
