Penrice Castle Nov 20 1846
My dear Henry
I wrote to Cowderoy to send me my negatives and a copying press that I might make positives, in which I have been very successful, but I want to know what is the proper strength of the Solution of hyposulphite of soda to set my positives (which are now necessarily kept in the dark) and what is the cause to be pursued in order to set them well.
He said he could not send me all my negatives because some were locked up & you had got the key – Will you get them sent to me?
Have you got "Withams history of Lacock" I bought it lately at Bristol, it is printed at Lacock, & probably the only work printed at that place. Date 1806. My kind regards to Mrs Talbot & Horatia if she is with you
Believe me Yours ever truly
CRM Talbot
