From Sarah Faraday   11 Jul 18601

Hampton Court | 11 Jul 1860

Dear Dr. Tyndall,

I was in hopes of thanking you personally last Saturday for the flattering mark of your kind feeling which I received in the present of your book,2 but as I did not see you, I must send a few words to tell you how highly I esteem it; I shall not attempt to speak of its merits for which I am quite incompetent, but I may say that in the little I have read so far, I see there is a great deal to interest even me. Your short visit was very tantalizing,3 for we hope it will be repeated before long when we shall have more time.

Believe me dear Dr. Tyndall | with warm interest in your welfare | Most sincerely yours | S. Faraday
