Veranda.
July 8^th 1846

My dear Sir,

I have had much business or sh^d have written to you at Ambleside; ¹ and afterwards thought that you w^d have left.

I feared that you w^d not find much in that region, as I think distant and general landscapes are some of the last subjects for Photography, i,e [sic] until we can have much larger Cameras and paper.

Enclosed is a list of my 2^nd Series, which I think will in general yield much finer copies than the 1^st set: as the negatives have been left a much longer time in the Camera. I wish exceedingly to accept your kind invitation and bring them with me, but my Aunts affairs ² still demand my constant presence.

I sh^d be very much obliged for copies of my remaining 1^st series pictures, about 20 of each size remain, which I have not seen.

It w^d give me great pleasure to see your Reading establishment: ³ I think it probable that we may ere long leave Wales entirely, as my poor Aunt has been in a manner left on my hands, and I must look out for a Living to render her latter days more comfortable. Has Henneman ⁴ brought any thing new from Paris in the Camera way?

Yours most truly
Calvert R Jones
