Your Royal Highness

I must apologise for not having written to you before. I published a chapter on 'Gapes in Pheasants' in 'Land & Water' but we can not find it. I enclose you Mr. Bartlett's note to me on the subject which I think contains the information you require.
I have got Bartlett to write me an article on Water Fowl especially for Your Royal Highness's benefit. It is published in 'Land & Water' to-day and I trust will be of service to you. I have ordered the numbers of 'Land & Water' about the Hudson Bay furs to be sent to you

I remain
Yours most obedient
