Copy of a letter from Mr W. Carpmael

4 Old Square

Linc. Inn

Apr 28 / 56

Dr Sir

I entertain a strong opinion that no person has a right without your licence to use Gelatine mixed with Bichromate of Potash applied to a surface in the dark and then to take a picture by the Camera or otherwise by the aid of light and then to wash off by water the parts not acted on by light.

Yours vy truly

William Carpmael
