Letter from Alphonse Bernoud, photographer in Naples, to Dr. Ernst Becker asking him to arrange for a message to be sent by the Foreign Office in London to the British Consul in Naples, authorising the latter to seek permission for Bernoud to take photogr

Bernoud writes that he has received Becker's letter. He confirms that he did receive the Prince's commission, via Monsieur Kanné the previous winter, to photograph various pictures by Raphael in Naples. Kanné asked Monsieur Melga to arrange permission, through the British Consul, for Bernoud to take the photographs. But Melga, and now Bernoud himself, have both been told by the Consul that he could not take any such action without direct instructions from the Foreign Office. Bernoud therefore asks Dr. Becker to arrange this, and assures him that he will take the photographs as soon as he receives the necessary permission.
