Dear Sir

I entertain a strong opinion that no person has a right, without your licence, to use Gelatine mixed with Bichromate of potash applied to a surface in the dark & then to take a picture by the Camera or otherwise by the aid of light and then to wash off by water the parts not acted on by light

Yours very truly

William Carpmael
