interest Mrs. Stanford, and possibly be
considered, from their associations, a
desirable acquisition to your Museum,
I have taken the opportunity of sending
you the negatives, and one of the sets
of glass positives, the other set of positives
I have sent to Mrs Stanford.

The photographic negatives were made
at Palo Alto in May 1879 on wet-
collodion plates. The two glass photographs
--not of the series--of a horse trotting and another
walking were made in 1878. I think I
destroyed all those made in previous years.

I have however some others of these made
in 1878-79 which (that is glass positives) which
if you care to have for the Museum, I will
send you with pleasure. They may be interesting
as early examples of a system of photographic research
the value and importance of which, is developing
year by year.

Faithfully Yours
