My dear Sir,

I have tried several plates, copy [sic] of lace, & I have spoiled them in the Electrotype process. ² I have one now in the apparatus & it seems to go on satisfactorily. At all events I shall try until I have succeeded & shall lose no time in forwarding you a good specimen by post as soon as I have one,

I remain, My dear Sir, Yours respectfully
A. Claudet
