Title	Letter from Charles Thurston Thompson to Dr. Ernst Becker as to prints from the negatives he has made, and the larger lens he has ordered.
Date	4 September 1854
Writer	Thompson, Charles Thurston; photographer
Addressee	Becker, Ernst, Dr.; Librarian to Prince Albert
Description	In response to Becker's letter (see VIC/ADDA10/85/4, 4a), Thompson promises to send Prince Albert every print from the Raphael negatives he has made. Mr Ross should have finished making the new lens for him, so he hopes to be able to reproduce the largest drawings full size and avoid reducing or joining. He thanks Becker for hinting that it may be possible for him to have a copy of his work. He adds a postscript saying that he has seen portraits taken by the Sappers on board a ship off Varna, but has not yet received anything from the [Crimean] front.
