D^r Sir,

The party mentioned will certainly not pay an annual sum and would rather be employed by me, the licence was my proposal, as I supposed in accordance with M^r Talbots wishes – if you will favor me by saying if I shall send the Cameras to Lacock Abbey or to Sackville S^t I will return them with every thanks to M^r Talbot for the use of them. I also beg to know if I am to offer the Portraits to the Public (untouched) at 10/6 –

Y^rs &c

“Henry Collen”
