 Letter

Manchester, May 20th, 1839

Respected Friend,

I thank you for the present of the Photogenic Drawing. It is the best that I have seen.

I take it very kindly that you have remembererd me, as it is long since we renewed our aquaintance.

I am very feeble, but walk about a little to the extent of one or two miles.

Yours truly
John Dalton
