TALBOT6159

Heathfield.
July 2^nd. 1848.

My dear Sir,

I am sorry that the hopes I had of recieving [sic] you here during the meeting of the Association ¹ are frustrated in consequence of the death of M^rs Calvert Jones’s Father, which will prevent our seeing those friends whom we expected at that time.

M^r Philipps ² has been here during the last week making arrangements with the Local Committee they have been so good as to consider my collection of coloured Talbotypes ³ as objects of particular interest and are going to make a kind of exhibition of them.

I am glad to find from what you say that we shall have a greater certainty of good negative Paper by the proposed means, and trust that it may be soon ready.

If you lay your hand on the views of Veranda ⁴ which I mentioned, I shall be much obliged for Copies

Yours very truly
Calvert R Jones.
