To Annette Roche   2nd, June, 1864.

Royal Institution | 2nd, June, 1864.

My dear Miss Roche

Thank you a thousand times for your kind note.¹ I send you two abominable photographs. Nature did not give me the power of sitting or standing still and when I attempt to do so I am a mere log of wood.

I have written to Dr Phillips² asking him to have the kindness to push forward the preparation of the room. Miss Wall³ was very good to consent to superintend it—but her absence prevents me from availing myself of her kindness. When I mentioned the room I meant to have it done at once and not by any means to wait.

Yours most truly | John Tyndall
