Title	Letter from John Hulbert Glover, the Librarian at Windsor Castle, to Dr. Ernst Becker reporting on Charles Thurston Thompson's progress in photographing the Raphael drawings there.
Date	22 August 1854
Writer	Glover, John Hulbert; Librarian to Queen Victoria
Addressee	Becker, Ernst, Dr.; Librarian to Prince Albert
Description	Glover reports that Thompson began his photography about a fortnight ago, but the weather has been unfavourable and he now needs a larger lens. He has probably photographed about 20 drawings, but Glover cannot say how they have turned out. The negatives are stored away and Glover is reluctant to disturb them in Thompson's absence. He adds that Dr. Waagen has not been in Windsor as far as he is aware. He hopes that the rumours of Baron Stockmar's death are untrue.
