Dear Sir,

Your’s [sic] of yesterday rec^d, & I merely write this line to say, as you are travelling & the B.A. meeting is close at hand, that whereas I propose to ask your acceptance of 12 copies of the Observatory Pamphlet containing all the plates, as well as half the stock of the copper plate impressions, – I shall send them all to Millburn Tower¹ if I do not hear to the contrary from you. –

but if any other address would suit you better for the whole, or if you would like any of them sent to any particular parties, I shall be most happy to forward them accordingly, on receiving a note of the addresses

& remain Yours truly
C. Piazzi Smyth

H. Fox Talbot Esq^re.
