Dear Sir,

I return you many thanks for the very beautiful Photogenic drawings you have been so good as to send me. The larger drawing of Lacock Abbey is particularly interesting to me both as a specimen of the great power of the art, and as recalling the many happy hours I spent within its walls. ¹

You have surely not published the precise method ² of executing these drawings. If you have not you would oblige, at a leisure hour by mentioning the process.– I believe I possess every thing you have written on the subject, and yet I feel that I could not produce any thing like your present specimens.

I hope you intend being at the next meeting of the Association ³ in Glasgow:

I am Dear Sir Ever Most Faithfully yrs
