Dr Sir
I am favoured with your letter of the 15th, but as I do not exactly understand what use you wish to make of my invention in your profession of Engraver, I will be obliged to you to mention it, and also to make your own proposition for the terms of a License which I will accede to, if I am able to do so.
You speak of your intention of trying to improve the collodion 1 & other photographic processes, I am of opinion that you will find them in their present state sufficiently perfect for your purpose.
I remain Yours very truly
H.F. Talbot
W. Walker Esq.
