TALBOT4639

Dear Sir,

I have remitted the following Sums agreeably with your directions – i.e.

To Coutts & C^{o 1} – £300.

To Hughes & C^o – 300.

To North Wilts Bk – 300.

I am glad to hear that you are likely to make some progress with the Calotype process but it is a sad reflection on the English to find their northern Brethren taking the lead.²

I remain Dear Sir Your obliged Serv^t
West Awdry.
