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 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
T. von Bunsen
