Thanks for the comment on the Turner post, Michael - I've amended it accordingly.
Hi Michael,
It was lovely to catch up briefly in May. Sorry it was all so rushed.
You are doing a great job here ... and elsewhere! Well done! Keep it up

Hallo Michael, Thanks for the regular Newsletter. Is there any way of recalling earlier versions? A recent issue had a review of the Princeton University book by Roger Taylor on Lewis Carroll and I would be interested in reading it again. Thanks.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the note, but I can't see the link to the entry you mention??

Would you be interested in having a copy of the work? Perhaps I could publish it online if it was felt to be of interest.
Hello Michael,
An update on the extensive Francis Frith negative find: I have been contacted by John Buck M.D of the Francis Frith Collection, and have passed on contact details to him - and hope they will find a good home, Alan M. Preston
Hello Mchael,
With reference to the previusly mentioned Francis Frith negatives: I met the couple again last night, and they left a few of the negatives for me to see, They are NOT glass negatives BUT very thick excellent postcard size negatives in excellent condition (all in brown envelopes with the town printed on the front); also with the place name/street very neatly hand written 'onto' each negative, together with the FF Index reference) He tells me he originally found them in an old barn which was full of boxes of the negatives (about 70.000) which were owned by an old lady, in Shropshire.
The are certainly very interesting, and If you can add any further information or know of anyone with a commercial interest, I will be pleased to help wherever possible.
Alan M. Preston
