Summary
Evidently concerning some difficulties he has had with a new etching process: "On trying yesterday for the first time to lay a rebiting ground, I found on applying the little glass hydrometer, that 2 of them were not properly adjusted, as they sunk in the strong liquor your brother gave me", asking him to rectify the situation for him, and adding that "as it was understoond by your brother that I am not bound to keep the process secret from my son, I have sent him with this to explain further what is wanting."
