Dear Sir

I will be glad to know if the paper negative now sent per post under another cover will suit (or rather the character of negative) before doing any more as I am afraid I would not be able to do them good enough by your own original and still the proper negative paper process, not having done any for many years If it would suit your particular purpose better I daresay I could do negatives with strong black & white with collodion on glass and then transfer the film to paper and I could put either side of the film to the paper you choose so that if you printed it on the block it would read backward or forwards in either way your process required

I am Dear Sir your Servant to command
