Beach, in part: "I regret than I can send you no other photograph…I have had so many similar requests that my stock is exhausted. You speak of Louis Figuier's work 'les Merveilles de la Science' &c.

A boldly penned, highly desirable letter by the painter-turned-inventor, whose electric telegraph is discussed in Figuier's work.
