1 HILLSIDE CRESCENT

July 21, 1863

Dear Sir,

I was extremely glad to hear by your’s [sic] of yesterday, of the two new Guajara plates which you have kindly made: sorry only to think of the many anomalous difficulties [you] have had to contend with in this case.

I have been to day to Banks’, but he himself was out & the assistant could not find the proofs. I shall write again on seeing them, & meanwhile remain with thanks

Yours very truly
C. Piazzi Smyth
