It is very important & would make an interesting article in your magazine. I regret that I have not time to offer to translate it for you; but if you like to get it translated & any of the technical terms employed should puzzle the translator, I will have great pleasure in offering my assistance to revise the translation, yours very truly H.F Talbot. P.S I should wish the original to be returned to me", addressed in Talbot s hand to "R. Taylor Esq., Editor of Phil Magazine, Red Lion Court, Fleet St" and signed "H.F Talbot" in the corner.
