I have had a beautiful drawing of the Deer's leg in situ made, and intended (as you gave me leave) to publish it in this week's Land & Water. On receipt of the drawing from the Keeper I sent for the Artist who said he could make a nice drawing out of it. So with your permission we will wait till both blocks are ready - I have lent the Artist a drawing of a German Red Deer which you saw when you kindly came here - to fill up the details. As regards the foot itself - I sent it to my friend [Rulich?] he is a working German Stuffer the very best in the world he does the work for many of the big shops - He has some splendid things at his place. If you could call I am sure you would be pleased with the heads and horns.
I have been confined to the house with bronchitis and assure you do not like being on the sick list at all.

Most obliged

I have been at work nearly all day at the Deers Foot [?]. the Printer said he must have 20 lines more to fill up the page see copy enclosed so you see I have taken the liberty of using the information Your Royal Highness kindly sent me this morning. If you will kindly send copies of the paper to owners of Deer Forests in Germany and I will forward copies as I am anxious to obtain as much information as I can for you.

Thanking you very much

[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.

I have seen Mr. Bartlett of the Zoological about your pheasants
1st He quite agrees with me that dampness is the cause of the malady and that therefore if it be possible the birds should be removed to a dryer place
2 He agrees with me that the place where they are confined should be roofed over, if the birds can not be removed.
3 He thinks that they should have pepper corns and that the person who feeds them should mix up some pepper corns in the food if they will not eat the pepper corns placed for them to pick up
4 We think that gravel is better than turf but that the best thing for them to walk on would be old brick and mortar rubbish - Mr Lee will make enquiries about the mole skins for them. The best man to dress them is Mr [Rulich] 8 Bettisland Street Hoxton. You can easily get enough for a waistcoat this year.

Will you allow me to beg your acceptance of a copy of our Deep Sea Fishery report which we have just presented to Parliament through Mr. Cross. Please especially look to my History of Sea Fishes Appendix No.2 Page 178. You will also see that I have followed the [?] you once gave me at the Museum and have given at P 246 a table showing the fish in season during every month of the year. I am now getting ready for the Berlin Fishery Exhibition which is to be held in April 1880.

I remain Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

I am indeed most obliged to you for a splendid haunch of Venison. I has subscribed to a 'goose club' for Christmas but now your Venison will take the goose's place. I thought of you yesterday at Leadenhall Market such a show of poultry the largest Turkey was 30 lbs an old Cock very tough I should think he brought seven guineas, There was also a wild Swan and one (Capercaelyie) but he was not fresh. You said you would like one, shall I send you one. Splendid birds but I expect all poached. Most of the geese I saw come from Iceland/Ireland. There was a lovely Snowly Owl 5£ and several Common Owls also a wild Swan. I finished my evening on Crab experiments. I want to stop them putting Crabs into cold water and boiling them alive.

Again thanking you
very much

My kind remembrances to your young ones - and kiss little Adam Sedgewick for me.

Most tr[ul]y yours
