My dear Sir

I thank very much for your kind and liberal present for publication I have spoken to Mr Thopson [sic] and he says he should be very glad to be introduced to you as he looks upon you as the father of Photography, he says we owe more to you in the way of discovery than to any one else Mr Thompson has photographed all the Assyrian marbles on a larger scale than the one in my book for publication – they look to me a magnificent series I shall be glad for you to see a set of these photographs I will write again and tell you more I am very busy for the next week

Yours respectfully
George Smith
