Dear Sir

Mess^rs Longman ¹ have informed me that it is your intention to publish Calotype views of the Cathedrals &c ² and have asked me to refer to your production in the work I am engaged on “ Light considered as a chemical Agent ³“ – I assure you it will give me the greatest pleasure to do so – and I shall feel it a kindness if you will give me some idea of the work you contemplate that we may not both tread the same ground – I have been trying the Calotype process within the last few days – and I have had uniform success – I shall now see about making arrangements to work the process.

I am D^r Sir yours most
respectfully & faithfully
Rob^t Hunt
