On Saturday last Jan 22 I received from [Dr. Vougar/Zougar?] the great Swiss pisiculturist a box containing 5000 (five thousand) eggs of the 'great Lake Trout' The Fathers and Mothers of these eggs lived in the lake of Neufchatel. Dr [Vogar/Zougar?] has desired me to present these five thousand eggs to Your Royal Highness. They are now safely lodged in the apparatus at Windsor, Mr. Menzies having sent up a man to receive them from me.
I enclose a note from [Dr. Vougar/Zougar?]. I am sure the Doctor would be very much pleased if you would have the kindness to write him a line to Neufchatel Switzerland. This donation promises well for keeping up the stock of the Obelisk Lake. I enclose a note from [Dr. Vougar/Zougar?] to Your Royal Highness

Mr Bartlett called on me by accident this morning. I told him that you were looking out for ducks for Frogmore. He told me that since your visit to the Gardens he had been looking out for ducks for you and he gave me the enclosed paper from which it appears that he now has a chance of getting for you 36 Birds for 10£. This I consider to be wonderfully cheap.
I write immediately to your Royal Highness to tell you about it. Mr Bartlett would like to have an early answer as to whether you would like the birds or not. Thanking you for all your kindness last Wednesday
I remain Sir

I have great pleasure in sending you a report of what I did and saw on Saturday last. I trust you will approve of my suggestions. I am truly sorry I was not at my Museum when you were good enough to call. They have not moved almost everything to the other side of the building
