Sir

I fully expected before this a supply of the Talbotypes for selection which when I have done I shall immediately return the rest care paid. As I have several of my Customers who have been for some time waiting for them I hope you will not dissapoint [sic] me in sending by Saturday’s Steamer, I am still receiving orders for the Country residences and shall now increase my order to a hundred pounds worth if your agents would but come this will I have no doubt be greatly increased

Yours
J Keith
