My dear Sir

I sent you the note of the character you wanted and I was glad to hear that you would enlarge your paper – You asked me why I did not stay longer at the sea side it was not as you supposed from want of holidays but from want of money – the Museum is liberal enough in the vacation they allow – I hope soon to go again to Margate for 2 weeks – I am about to write to Williams & Norgate about my book which I now want published I have nearly finished the Syllabary.

Yours respectfully

George Smith

P. S. I post you a pamphlet I have written

H. Fox Talbot Esq
