Vicarage
November 4. 1870

My dear Sir

M^rs Talbot kindly brought over yesterday a list of Articles purchased at the Vicar’s sale, and which you have been kind enough to present to me.

I have tried again and again, when I have been with you, to thank you for all you have done for me. But I could not speak, as my heart was too full. Please let me take this method of assuring you of my gratitude. I hope you will never have cause to regret the kindness you have shown to one who feels he has little to recommend him to your notice.

Forgive me, if I cannot speak, or even write, as I would wish, & believe me

Most gratefully your’s
Edwin O. Roach

H. Fox Talbot Esq^r
