Sir

I submit to you a few Specimens of what I am doing with the Ferro-cyanate of Potash on Iodide of Silver ¹ - the Camera views are the results of three and five minutes - the others of as many seconds -

I have today noticed that your preparation the gallo-nitrate of silver will call out the invisible impression from my paper - but I have not done anything that would answer to copy from yet -

I am in great expectation of being enabled to remove the yellow iodide entirely from the paper without at all impairing the dark parts - this will much facilitate the copying of original camera views -

I am Sir Yours very respectfully
Rob^t Hunt
