From Michael Faraday   16 Feb. 1853

Royal Institution, | 16 Feb. 1853.

My dear Tyndall,

I do not know what post office near you would be convenient for a money order, so I send a cheque for the 1.10.0,1 with many thanks on the part of the Institution, and I may truly say of many members who were at your discourse.2 If the cheque is inconvenient to you, return it to me by post, and tell me what I should do.

Ever truly yours, | M. Faraday.
