Sir,

By railway this evening I have sent you plates and 2 proofs of each. Allow me to say I think they are a great advance upon all former ones pressed by me

I have named your process to Mess Colnaghi they promised to bring it before Sir A Vernon and try it But I presume upon the principle of great bodies moving slow nothing has been done with at present Thanking you on their behalf for the Kind offer

I am Y^r Ob^t Sert
