TALBOT4141

Dear Sir,

I write this moment to mention to you that I have been requested to write a short Article in the next N^o of the Edin^r Review ¹ on Photogenic Drawing and the Daguerreotype. As I am very anxious to do justice to your labours I would reckon it a great favour if you could send me any information that you can, or any suggestions that you may think useful.

I believe that I have not thanked you for the last series of drawings you were so good as to send me. – I exhibited them at the Physical Section ² & gave an account of your process in the best way I could. The view of the West side (I think) of Lacock Abbey ³ is truly beautiful, & equals almost the Daguerreotype. The Daguerreotypes executed in Edin^r by a M^r Tho^s Davison ⁴ far surpass any done in Paris or London.

We had a splendid meeting of the Association at Glasgow.

I am dear Sir Ever Most Faithfully yrs

P.S. I shall be at S^t Andrews in a day or two.

H.F. Talbot Esq^r
