Carlton H. T. Monday
Dear Mr Talbot
I perceived already yesterday that you had caught light beyond the photographic rays, and that your researches were particularly directed to a field where my thoughts have been engaged these 30 years. I therefore thank you doubly for your kind and valuable gift, & I hope you will give me an opportunity of renewing so valued an acquaintance as soon as you return from Germany.
For the mean time receive kindly my best thanks & regards.
Yours sincerely
Bunsen
