Source of text:

Summary:

Is grateful for the handsome manner in which JH has acknowledged RH's work. Would be willing to prepare a memoir for the R.S.L. Does Louis Daguerre's patent affect RH's manufacture of photographic papers? Has not studied the bromnets so far, but has studied the effects of bromine on plates. Comments on his results.
