Dear Talbot
I am much inclined now that they are brought to such perfection to have some talbotype views made of Bowood. They would suit my new terraces admirably – but I would only have them done by the very best hand – will you be kind enough to tell me who you consider that to be –
I came here for a few days < for?> business yesterday from Wiltshire, where I called on Mrs Moore & found her very tolerably well – You have probably heard that Longman has given her 3,000<£?> for the diary –
believe me yours truly
Lansdowne
