Wednesday afternoon

Dear Sir

As I shall not be offended with the decision of the Council <1> (of which by the way, I will be much obliged to you to inform me by the post, as I shall not be able to attend the meeting in the evening) I therefore shall not withdraw my paper, but leave it to the Council to decide –

With great regard

believe me to remain
Dear Sir
Yours very truly

H. Fox Talbot

P.S. May I beg the favour of your reading to the Council, the enclosed few lines?

Dr Roget
Secy Royal Society
39 Bernard St
Russell Square

Mr Talbot


Notes:

1. The council of the Royal Society objected to WHFT’s proposal to publish the whole of the paper ‘Some Account of the Art of Photogenic Drawing’, which was read before the Society on 31st January 1839.
