From Michael Faraday 13 July 1837

Dear Sir

I need not tell you that you, I, & Dr Roget are a committee of the Faculty of Arts for Chemistry Animal & Vegetable Physiology. The feeling on my mind is so vague as to what will ultimately be required by the Senate as the minimum for the degree of B.A. that I cannot decide in my own mind as to how much or how little we ought to put down in the Chemistry as something which maybe either enlarged contracted or in any other way altered. I have drawn up the enclosed (Dr Roget by also out of him) have sent a copy to you (as to him) to know what you think of it. As a committee we ought to report soon. I shall be out of London from tomorrow until Saturday week

I am dear sir

Very truly yours

M. Faraday
