My dear Sir,
I write this from the house of Mr Linnell, and strongly recommend you to pay him a visit before you leave town, as I think he is highly qualified to forward your object by advice, having extensive knowledge of the best art, and practically from his knowledge of drawing & the different processes of reproduction & being besides an enthusiast in his profession.
It would give me much pleasure to see you after your interview should you think fit to call on Mr Linnell.
Mr Linnell is at home all day.
Yours faithfully
Thomas Longman
Mr Linnell would call on you if you would send him a note making an appointment.
H. Fox Talbot Esq.
