Dear Mr. Frank Buckland
I could not think what had become of you, that you should have been located at Windsor, for so many months never entered by head - I am however glad to find you are in the land of the living, and hope you will long remain here. How very much I feel for the Queen, to lose one she so dearly loved - one so young that she might have ensured his life for years, one so gifted and so highly thought of by all. His death is a national loss - yet His Royal Highness is happier than even Her Majesty could have made him here. I have given £10 to the [?] Society but they have not acknowledged it in any way. I sent it on the 9th of last July thro' Coutts Bank perhaps they don't send a receipt for what is paid thro' a Bankers. You must excuse this. I am writing by candle light and my eyes are so bad that I cannot see to make a letter even with spectacles.
If you can tell me one thing of Her Majesty, pray do - as to how she is and how she bears her loss

Believe me
Sincerely yours
Sir Frank Chantry

Dear Buckland

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Wordsworth yesterday at Dinner; and therefore as the claim of my Lecture No 8 is very urgent and I know that if I once go out after Breakfast early and get down to your Rooms my whole morning will very soon run away before I am aware of it. I will ask you to excuse my coming to you at this time.

Believe me to be
very truly yours

Dear Sir

I have just sent off my catalogue to you per bookpost, all the exhibits that have arrived are marked by a cross (No1300 - 1358 ) The German Fishery Society having no Museum or Library could not give any space for things presented to them. But the “ Prussian Ministry of Agriculture” will be very glad to place the interesting reports kindly presented by you & Mr. S. Walpole in the library, and the present Exhibition building, which is destined for the “ Agricultural Museum” would be perfectly fitted to take in any exhibits presented to the “ Landwirtschaftliches Ministerium” as the present Exhibition takes place under the special auspices of Minister [Lucius?] & his right hand [Mr Marcaed?] Mr. Johnson will have let you know, that I am not able to find quite as many pictures & tables as marked on your list; perhaps the one or the other have remained behind? I count 4 (not 5) plans of Salmon passes & 4 (not 6) tables showing food of sea fish. The last fish was terribly broken, but has been perfectly repaired.

Believe me
Very truly yours

My dear Buckland

You will find a figure (not a good one) of Artemisus in Rackett's paper in Lim Trans. under the name of [Cancer?] Sehiris I think. Rackett gives it's history from the Lymington Salt-pans but if I recollect right though he observed that the Brine-worms live in such a salt medium as no other animal endures he says nothing of their mode of reproducing the species. I can't find the "flins"

In haste

Ever yours

My dear Mrs Buckland

I am very desirous of knowing that our Cambridge philosophy has done you no more harm than my [potion] of the same kind which your Oxford [people?] prepared so well last year and which you took with such infinite grace and alacrity. After your good [?] in coming to see us to see how we succeeded in or [?] I should be very sorry indeed to think that the fumes of our scientific cookery had left any disagreeable impression upon you, either in this effect upon your health or your good opinion of the various cooks who were [concerned?] in the broth that was set before you. If you are quite well I do now know that we have anything to report for people in general seem very well pleased. Sedgwick had intended to go to Leamington as soon as the [?] was over but he is detained from correcting the proofs of his own speech which I have tried to impress upon him in a very reasonable manner for having talked so much as he did. In a few weeks I think it likely that he and I may go and air ourselves upon the [?] patch of Charnwood [?] [?] in our hands. Perhaps Aire may accompany us on his way to Mrs. A's family in Derbyshire in which case I think it is very [?] if we do now strike awe and admiration into the minds of the Leicestershire [?]. We shall not be quite satisfied till we know that you are quite well, so I hope that you will let us have that satisfaction soon. I suppose my [?] Bridgewater has begun to make his calls upon you again. I shall be very glad when he has called so that you and Dr. Buckland come in view

Ever Very Truly Yours
