Sir
The Gentleman 2 who has for some time been at the Galvanographic Compy 3 acting as Electrotypist 4 but from whom he has now separated called on me this day. he is an old acquaintance of mine. has been manager for a long time at Elkingtons,5 and is thoroughly acquainted with electrotype as an art.
You some time since asked me for such a person. besides his Knowledge of the various processes of the company may be of use to you though you know my opinion that the germ of all good is in your own and that the Company’s is a clumsy round about process. I cannot refrain from immediately putting you in possession of my Knowledge of what is open to you.
Most truly
Geo Barclay
