My dear Sir
The proof1 arrived safely. I am sorry to hear that I missed you when you were in London. Will you dine with me at a quarter before six on Friday next. We will go to Mr. Faraday’s lecture afterwards.2

Kopp, Annual Report of the Progress of Chemistry and the Allied Sciences, Physics, Mineralogy, and Geology, vol. 4, eds. A. W. Hofmann and H. Bence Jones (London: Walton and Maberly, 1853). See letters 0671, n. 1 and 0683, n. 1.
