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

I regret exceedingly that I was unable to be at the Museum to-day as I did not arrive at the office till past two. I was dissecting some fish and it was then too late for the chance of going to the Museum. Will you kindly fix your own day for next week and Mr Lee and myself will be in attendance. We will then send full particulars as to the place where the furs will be on view.
I trust your Royal Highness will forgive me for not meeting you to-day

I have been away again as usual Salmon inspecting. I am so very much obliged for the Venison. It was simply magnificent. I send you copy of my Fisheries report for 1875. Please read page 50 and examine the plans. May I be so bold as to ask Your Royal Highness if you think I might present a copy of my 'Log Book' to Her Majesty and if so what are the proper steps to approach Her Majesty. I should indeed be pleased if I might be allowed to forward a copy. Again thanking Your Royal Highness for the Venison.

Yours most obliged

Allow me to thank you for very much indeed for the three little hedgehogs one big and two little which arrived all right this morning. The little fellows were certainly in a state of hybernation. The big one is quite tame. I think I shall fat him up and eat him on Christmas Day as a speciality.

Yours most obliged

I have taken the liberty of sending you a sample of American oysters which I have just received. They are in a small box forwarded by rail. Those at the top of the box come from Prince Edward Island. Those at the bottom from Chesapeake Bay and are sent by the Smithsonian Institution of Washington.
I have a project with Mr. Pope (one of the great men in Prince Edwards Island) to import large quantities of these Oysters which abound in about the island as food for the British Public. I should like to have your (private) opinion of them both cooked and raw. I have kept some of the Oysters intending to breed from them if possible and establish a breed in England

Yours ever
