Confides that the past year has been 'a sombre one ... but not unhappy.'
Recalls earlier letter in which [EC] made suggestions to JH for improving Daguerreotype.
As JH has tried many varnishes he wonders if he has ever tried shellac. Has tried it on specimens of brass. Many thanks for his invitation.
