My dear Sir,

I write this from the house of M^r Linnell, and strongly recommend you to pay him a visit before you leave town, as I think he is highly qualified to forward your object by advice, having extensive knowledge of the best art, and practically from his knowledge of drawing & the different processes of reproduction & being besides an enthusiast in his profession.

It would give me much pleasure to see you after your interview should you think fit to call on M^r Linnell.

M^r Linnell is at home all day.

Yours faithfully

Thomas Longman

M^r Linnell would call on you if you would send him a note making an appointment.

H. Fox Talbot Esq.
