Daguerreotypes.

m. Comrr-Dear Sir Sometime ago
promised to give you few Daguer-
reotypes uncolored, from my double con-
vex achromstic voitlander instrument. In
fact. if my memory serves me right ! did
rive you two or three imperfect outlines o
noted individuals. The last exhibited to
the public through your paper, was speci-

was forced as you know to suspend the
Daguerreotypeins business, for the reason
that could not take a good picture-even

half dozen fellows coming to claim the
same, and threaten me with suit for dam
ages for exposing phises to public gaze
without obtaining an autobiography to
accompany it, This placed me in some
yery peculiar situations, in which | found
it difficult to get out have now on my
shelf, portraits of the following persons
which as the times are quiet will at leas-
ure present There is the model doctor
lawer, and Devine The model office-seek-
er. have also strong pictures of the mo-
del Southern Belle, and the model Belle s
mamma and papa, the model Louisiana

favour your readers with them in due time
