My Dear Sir

I will see what can be done to replace your Tacsonia.

If you intend to apply y^r discovery ² to purposes of publication I dare say grains w^d be as good subjects as you c^d choose. But until surface, as well as outline can be rendered by the process I fear that any sun etching ³ will have very little scientific value: ⁴ for I do not see how you can shew any thing beyond form and ramification

Yours faithfully
John Lindley
