London,
2^nd March, 1844

My Dear Sir,

the specimen of what is called Calotype, ¹ is the prettiest – the most beautiful thing of the kind I have ever seen. – Herewith a few samples of the oldest makes of Whatman’s papers. ² – All we have – I think a paper, not roll’d, perhaps, would be the best, as Nos. 6 or 7. But I am incapable of offering an opinion.

I am much obliged to you for sending to me the specimen. – Can you spare it?

I am, My dear sir, Yours sincerely
Richard Loder ³
