My dear Tom
Be kind enough to give me credit for the following: –
Cost of Ruhmkorff’s coil2 £2.2.6
Duty carriage &c. 1.1.6
Carriage of Syren3 0.7.2
I think I may safely say that I shall see you at the end of next week. I believe it will be a clear gain to me to get out of London for a couple of days, and I may learn something at Queenwood which can be turned to account in my lecture on education.4
