Your Royal Highness

I have been working away at the Fox and now send report. What I should like best would be for Morris to come up here any morning next week. As I find the skin etc. is not in a fit state to travel. If Morris will come please let me know and I will be ready for him. I should much like a consultation with him.

Yours most
obedient

[Breton?] has been here. He agrees with me that the marks in the last Fox's skin are the marks of a dog's teeth and I have tried the holes with the fangs in the skull of a hound and they match exactly. I will look up the tests of Strychnene Please send me the other Foxes - I agree with Your Royal Highness the matter is very mysterious and ought to be settled.

Yours most obedient and obliged
