My dear Sir

In compliance with Your expected wish that I should write to You to say that all pecuniary accounts between Yourself and the present firm of Price Bolton & Filder as well as with the preceding one of Price & Bolton are balanced and sealed to the end of the year 1861, – I beg to say that such is the fact –

I regret that the darkness of the season, it has been pretty much the same here, has interfered with the prosecution of Your Photoglyphic engraving ² – I do not hear that Pretsch has made any thing of his ³ – Photography how^r flourishes more than ever – at Brighton Hennah & Kent ⁴ require a week or even 10 days notice for a sitting!

Henneman, ⁵ I find, has left Mayall’s ⁶ employm^t but is with Claudet ⁷ – my messenger did not see him – but was told that he lived at Kentish Town: I augur therefore since You have not heard to the contrary that he is gaining his lilelihood livelihood with C.

believe me to remain My dear Sir Ever yours faithfully
J. H. Bolton
