Your Royal Highness

The Artist who is drawing the Red Deer has been ill and tells me he can not let me have the blocks for this week's 'Land & Water' he has promised me faithfully for next week. [Rulich?] reports he has made a capital job of the foot in situ on the tree branch. I have written about the Duke of Edinburgh's Pike in L & W tomorrow and hope you will approve
I beg to enclose a copy of a paper I am sending round to the chief Fishing ports on the North and East of England and Scotland, there are about 2800 fishing Smacks in the North Sea.
This is quite a new idea and I hear the Fishermen accept the proposition very kindly and now I beg to place a proposition before your Royal Highness
