Sir

There has been a mistake in sending you Thomas Colodion ² Iodized for it will not keep good above three or four days in summer, but you ought to have had it seperately & Iodise it your self in small quantities as you require it, and then I have no doubt but you will find it Supirior to anything you have tried, the reason they send it iodized is that Thomas does not sell less than one [illegible] (16 oz) seperately there are directions on the bottles how to mix it he has published in the Photographic journal his method of making the sensitive bath, cleaning the glass plate, developing solution, etc, etc, if you like I will send you some of his separate colodion in any quantity you like as wee sell it, as I told you before it was a blunder of Davies ³, I will like wise send you the journal in question or our own method (wich is more simpel and I can see no difference in the result) of course the Colodion you have of Thomas cannot be good for any thing by this time.

Your Obidient Servant
N. Henneman
