TALBOT6615

My dear M^r. Talbot

I feel somewhat diffident in sending Talbotypes ¹ to their fountain head- however I do not forward the enclosed to you so much as specimens of photography, as being views of places that I think you may like to have – such for example are Melbury Margam & Lanelay. ²-

I have been practicing sun painting for some years and as a matter of chemical amusement have followed all the different processes on paper silver & glass. ³- and it is rather remarkable that the method I now follow when I wish for good views, is identically the same with your old original receipts.

After all the many proposed modifications I believe that they continue to be the best.

and I remain Yours very truly
J.D. Llewelyn
