D^r Sir

I hear that you have been to Paris ¹ to witness the new experiments ² which (it is said) demolish the Newtonian theory of light. What do you think of them?

I am just leaving home for Bowness in Westmoreland on the bank of Lake Windermere, where my family are already gone ³ for change of air.

As that place would not be out of your way in your return to Scotland I shall be extremely happy if you can make it convenient to pass that way. If you have never seen Windermere it will afford you much gratification in its beautiful scenery.

Believe me Yours v^y tr^y
H.F. Talbot
