Alan Stevenson¹ to Faraday   Before 1853²

My dear Sir,

I called to beg the favour of your informing whether you have ever made any trials regarding the decolorisation of water tinged with Moss and whether you consider it at all practicable without the exhibition of chemical agents. If you have not tried this you can perhaps tell me of someone who can & I will esteem it a particular favour if you will drop me a line to the Craven Hotel Craven Street on the subject as early as you can. I shall willingly pay any messenger you may send with the note as the information is required in a consultation tomorrow.

I shall thank you to leave me two tickets for your lecture on Friday, one for myself, & one for one of the N.L. Commissioners.

I am, My dear Sir, | Very faithfully yours | Alan Stevenson

Wednesday afternoon

Address: Dr. Faraday | &c &c &c
