Dear Sir,

I have received the specimens of your new process ^<1> – of etching the Photographic image formed by the Bichromate of Potash – on Steel plates

They are exceedingly delicate and beautiful – and even in its present state – the process appears applicable to many very important purposes – I cannot but think there are many other preparations, which may be employed after your method – sufficiently sensitive to obtain Camera pictures. I venture to hope I may shortly see specimens of this class from your hands. Many thanks for your kind attention

I am Dear Sir Yours faithfully
Robert Hunt

H^y Fox Talbot Esqr
