My dear Sir,

Your letter followed me here, where we have been called by the illness of an Aunt of Mrs Calvert Jones.

Many thanks for your parcel; the over duplicates I will keep to hand over to the Swansea agent in case M^r Cowderoy ¹ establishes one I have not yet recieved [sic] it nor shall I till my return when I will send another detachment of Maltese and Roman views: I am much pleased with several copies of the second series ² which I sent: it is however clearly necessary to do all with a view to waxing.

M^r Cowderoy lately sent me some very bad Iodised paper, ³ M^r Harrison ⁴ has sent me some better, but still not very good, I am sorry there is such difficulty in procuring the material good.

I brought my little ¼ Camera here and have done some views, which pleased a Tradesman so much, that he is desirous of being an Agent, I have referred him to M^r Cowderoy.

I am thinking of a little tour to Worcestershire and Yorkshire; the latter is so rich in some subjects, and I sh^d be glad to go out of the way to take some of them if I thought the percentage w^d repay but cannot afford to do so unless I hear from you that it would.

I hope your projected tour will be successful, and remain

Yours very truly
Calvert R. Jones.

W^d you be kind enough to send the enclosed to Mr Harrison.⁵
