Edward Hawkins to Faraday   18361

Dear Faraday

The bearer Mr Drummond2 is making a lithographic of you 3. I have therefore particularly to request that you will give him an opportunity of looking at your face for ten minutes; and as much more as he may require without interrupting you in your avocations, but mark, you must be quiet for about ten minutes.

Ever yours sincerely | Edw Hawkins


Address: M. Faraday Esq. | Royal Institution | Albemarle Street.

Dated on the basis of the reference to the lithograph.
William Drummond, a lithographer referred to briefly in Ormond (1973), 1: 169.
This is in RI MS F1 H71 and was published on 12 November 1836.
