Dr Sir

As you may probably not have access to the original photographic memoirs, which are dispersed thro' various publications, I send you according to promise a few memoranda, with a view to insure correctness as to dates &c. You can make what use you think proper of these materials, but please to send me a proof of your next article<1> in good time as I cannot always undertake to return it to you the same day I receive it, but may be absent from home, &c.

Yours truly

H.F. Talbot

Mr Taylor
