From Dionysius Lardner   18 Oct. /51

Paris, | 18 Oct. /51

Dear Sir,

I have not seen the Philosophical Magazine, and don’t know where it could be referred to here. You could send me the numbers by the usual conveyance from London,1 and on reading them I shall be happy to do what you desire.2

I remain, dear Sir, | Yours very truly, | Dion. Lardner.

J. Tyndall, Esq.

send ... by the usual conveyance from London: Tyndall referred the request to Francis (see letter 0554).

2

on reading them … what you desire: it seems that Tyndall had asked for a testimonial and Lardner here agrees to write one after reading his published memoirs. However, when Tyndall asked Francis for advice (letter 0554) he did not admit he had already made the request.
