Letter from N Melton to David William Mitchell regarding a shipment of crown birds, a monkey and a scotchman bird for the Zoological Society of London
1840
My dear Ogilby
Your letter came to me while I was at Cambridge - I am sorry I cannot be at the Committee tonight: tho points I have to offer to your and the Committee's notice respecting the big birds bone are simply my conviction that it is an extinct Struthious Bird about the age of the Dodo. It is [associated] in interest with the Apteryx from the same locality - a short paper and one plate.
Believe me
ever your truly
