Athenĉum <1>

Dear Grove
The correspondence <2> is published in page 4 of the Times of August 13 / 52
I have marked the page for you, and desired the waiter <3> to keep the volume in readiness, in case you wish to look at it.
I leave Town for some weeks on Friday My address will be Greta bank <4>
Keswick
The specifications <5> contain many matters which are irrelevant to the present question, I propose therefore to draw up some remarks and send them to you which may tend to Elucidate the subject.
Yours Truly
H. F. Talbot
Notes:
1. The Athenĉum and (London) Literary Chronicle, London.
2. At the Athenĉum Club.
3. Greta Bank, Cumberland, near Keswick. Talbot was there from the end of August 1853 [see Doc. No: 06841 concerning his plans for the journey north] and stayed there, perhaps intermittently, until November and perhaps even December 1853.
4. This was the published correspondence between William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse (18001867), astronomer & MP, as President of the Royal Society of London, and Talbot, in which Talbot threw open the patent-rights on his Calotype process as far as amateur photographers were concerned. See Doc. No: 06668.
