My dear Sir

I hope you will not proceed with your new Patent ² untill we have some conversation together. It will cost no more to include my improvements in the same Patent, and I have some which I think may be turned to good account. I am quite willing, if you approve of it, and will bear the expences to throw them all into a common stock. I know a respectable artist who has devoted himself with great success to the manipulations of voltatyping, and who is ready to devote his entire time to carrying out our ideas; it might be judicious to give him a share. The experiments will cost something but they will by no means be so expensive as other applications of electricity, that as a motive power for instance. If you are likely to return to town soon I will communicate to you verbally the construction of my improved apparatus and the new application of the process I propose, if not I will send you a brief account in writing.

Yours very truly
C. Wheatstone.
