To H. F. Talbot Esq^r

Sir

I beg to acknowledge your kind note & to say that I do still take great interest in your photoglyphic process & I shall be glad to receive any specimens from time to time with such explanation as you may think it right for me to publish in a lecture or scientific notice &c.

You will be glad to hear that my anxieties as to the future are much diminished since I expect to conclude, soon, an arrangement with Mr C Pritchard of Clapham S. ¹ – to assist him in his laboratory & occasionally lecture for him in his school. I am to have part of my time free to undertake research or private scientific business lectures &c. The remuneration will be small but I trust by diligent exertion to extend it so as to supply my habitually moderate wants.

I hope I do not deceive myself in hoping that I may yet be found useful to sound science & procure & retain securely an honourable & properly remunerative position.

I shall still be thankful for your kind remembrance if any thing likely to be of advantage to me occurs to you in the way of business or position.

I remain Truly your obliged servant
T. A. Malone.

Letters address London Institution will still find me even should I go to Clapham to reside.

TAM
