Monsieur Talbot

Depuis ma dernière lettre <1> où je vous indiquais l’adresse de Mrs Gambart & Co <2> pour la remise des deux épreuves du Journal photographique envoyées par Mr E. Anthony, <3> je n’ai plus entendu parler de ces épreuves. Mr Gambart est venu à Paris, mais il ne les a pas apportées, il n’avait pas connaissance que la maison les eut reçues. Veuillez, je vous prie, avoir l’obligeance de les faire remettre comme je vous l’avais indiqué, ou bien de me dire si elles sont chez Messrs Gambart & Co afin que je leur écrive en conséquence.

Agréez, Monsieur mes bien sincères salutations

Mr Talbot

Since my last letter in which I told you Messrs Gambart & Co’s address for the return of the two proofs of the Journal photographique which were sent by Mr E. Anthony, I have not heard anything more about these proofs. Mr Gambart has come to Paris but he has not brought them and he was not aware that the company had received them. Would you please be so good as to have them returned as I had suggested to you or to tell me if Messrs Gambart & Co have them so that I can write to them accordingly.

Please accept my sincere regards
