Your Royal Highness

My Page Boy has just brought your telegram. You are most kind the Hedgehogs will be most acceptable.
I am writing about them in a new edition of White's Selbourne. I expect they were discovered when hybernating any particulars will be acceptable.

Yours most obliged

Frank Buckland

I want to see how many spines a hedgehog has I shall make one into a pie and boils his skin and count the spines. So much obliged.
I shall see if the hedgehogs will agree with my Monkeys I have four now.
Please send them to 37 Albany St.
