44 Queen Ann S^t

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?

D^r Roget
Sec^y Royal Society
