Sir

Absence from Edinburgh will prevent me from contributing any specimens to the meeting of the Photographic Soc^y on the 12^th inst. I expect to have some large engravings ready in a week or two – As I should like to exhibit them for a short time, perhaps you will be kind enough to mention when the exhibition of photographs closes?

I remain Yours very truly
H. F. Talbot
