My dear Talbot,

I wish you w^d be so good as to tell me whether there is any particular Photographer or Daguerreotypiste, ¹ or whatever may be the proper name for such artists, – whom you w^d specially recommend for portraits? We are anxious to have as good a Copy as possible of a youngster of ours whom we are just sending to Lea; and it occurs to me that with your Great knowledge upon the subject you may possibly know something also of those who practice the art, & of their merits. The thing seems to be well executed at a shop at the corner of Parliament Street, & Bridge Street, (I forget the name) to an ordinary eye. – If you can give me any advice in the matter I sh^d thank you very much.

Believe me, Y^rs very truly
Jⁿ Stewart Wortley
