August 23 – 1842

Dear Sir,

I enclose you two of the specimens of which I spoke. ¹ I should have sent you two others, which I think better than these – but I have given them away to one of M^r R M Fox’s daughters – These Lithographs ² are executed by a M^r Lewis – a copper-plate printer of Liverpool – He has promised to send me some taken by the Camera shortly – How long with average light do you require to get a good picture from the first taken? Can you spare me one of your best negative calotypes? ³

I am Dear Sir Yours respectfully & truly
Robert Hunt

H Fox Talbot Esq
