[Embossed top centre of the paper: Heathfield Park, Hawkhurst]
My dear Major Festing.
Dr Gladstone spoke to me
about lecturing on Faraday’s
apparatus & I raised no objection.
[illegible] as some of it was given to me
personally by Faraday himself, and
as I am on the whole better acquainted
with the apparatus than anybody
else, I do not object at your request
to take the matter in hand.

would not under the circumstances

(I shall have packed up for [illegible])
object to letting me take
Saturday the 1st of July.
[illegible] faithfully
Mr Tyndall
