Bournemouth
Oct. 27 1876

Dear Sir

Absence from home for a month or 6 weeks will prevent me from complying immediately with the request contained in your obliging letter, ¹ but on my return home I will see what I can do. In the meanwhile I wish to enquire whether you would like to have specimens of my Photoglyphic Engraving? ²

This process which I first published in 1853, for the first time gave permanence to photographs, by the employment of printer’s ink –

address Post Office, Bournemouth

I remain Yours very Truly
