Millburn Town, 1 Edinburgh,
Nov. 25, 1863.
"DEAR SIR,- Let me add to what I said before, that I believe I have still at Lacock Abbey the negative of the photograph described by a writer in your Journal as 'undoubtedly the breakfast-table at Etruria Hall. 2' In that case it will probably have a date endorsed upon it, as that was my usual practice at that time.
"It would be easy to have some new copies printed from it, and distributed to the Members of the Society.
"The Society should retain in its possession the copy of the breakfast-table shown, at its last Meeting; or if this cannot be done, an accurate description or photograph of it should be made, for the sake of comparison.
" I remain,
"Yours very truly,
"H.F. Talbot."
"Dr. Diamond."
