My dear Buckland

Next Thursday will suit me very well, and I shall be happy to meet you and Lyell at the ordnance office at any hour that may be finally fixed on. On Wednesday I hope to have a paper on the Whitehaven Coalfield with some general remarks on the relations of the [Parton-Linston?] belt wh. runs to Egremont [?] foot of Staverson. The paper cannot be finished in the [?] but we can give the general ]?] and can have a page of details for the meeting of the October [?]. I shall rejoice to see Mrs Buckland and your children. I think it is about two years since I have shaken her by the hand. The Yorkshire [election?], a law suit and a bad cold has plagued me almost to death. The cold is [?] now that the wind blows from a quarter within two points of South. I heard from Langham a day or two since. William is doing very well [?] as and if God spare his health will work his way [?] to a Fellowship at Trin. Coll. Prey excuse this scrap of paper. It is the best I have.

Yours ever

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

My dear Mrs Buckland

I am off by coach in a few minutes, but before I start I will try to [leave] this at the Sloppian Coffee House where your [gude man?] is disporting himself. Be it known to you by those present that my dog's wife - [Zelept?] Mustard, was safely delivered of a son about three months since - that said son was christened Pepper and is growing fast in all canine accomplishments. Bu the beast and his mother are both at Norwich, and as there is no coach from Cambridge to Norwich direct, I have not ventured to send either the mother or son, or to trust them to tender mercies of guard and coach driver. This is the cause of the delay. But if my friend Frank is become heartsick for want of Pepper I will do my best to have him sent to Oxford. The best way will be to send him to London sometime when Dr. Buckland is there. I shall be in Norwich [?] at my sister's residence on Dec 1st. Ant time after that day I can do the [?]. So much for canine matters - Last night we had a long discussion on canine teeth in which I was a listener. Indeed I was partly compelled to hold my jaw by a bad cold which has so damaged the vox humana and top of my organs, that at present they emit no sounds but such as are utterly beastly and inarticulate. The Doctor fought [lustily] but had I spoken I would have had a tilt at him for one sentence. He said there was evidence enough without more, and that he would not bring up his reserves to fight on the side which was already victorious. Those were not his words but they express his meaning. Now this will not do while there is doubt will as one [?], had you seen Dr. Grant opining doubts and difficulties you would have smiled and perhaps have thought that all the candles must be [lighted] before the mists clear. Be this as it may I do hope Dr Buckland will bring every chief block and payment which can give light to these dark [jaws?]. The anatomical evidence seems to preponderate greatly on one side, and yet I wish that side to lose for I have no idea that a warm blooded animal should dispose himself by restling away the [?] monsters of Horsfield.

My kindest love to all your little ones

Dear Miss Buckland

Sir Roderick was so good as to send me a copy of his address to the Geogr. Soc. which having read with avidity as being a very able & satisfactory paper, and having much liked the brief but telling notice of your dear father I tried to procure from the
printer a copy to send to you - and your good mother and sisters - but having failed I was about to send you my copy by this post, - my young ladies however interfered -and assure me that there is no possible doubt of Sir Rodks having already despatched one of his earliest copies to St. Leonards Is that the case or not? - If not, you shall by return of post have that belonging to Yours faithfully

The Archaeological Meeting

This year it is to be at Norwich & not at Hereford - The [final] sermon for me, thinking of Hereford for our Fenchurch meeting was your idea of visiting the Wye, & now we find that the Bishop will be glad to receive us. The installation will be I believe on the 6th or 7th of [July]? at or possibly 5th or 8th. After that it we shall go on to Fenchurch [?] but until we know the day of the installation we can not fix the exact day. I must be back at Ashby on Monday the 19th of July, on account of the Agricultural Meeting which takes place at Northampton in that week & some of my [?] will possibly come to me on Tuesday, & possibly even on Monday- you remember you arranged to come to me I am WORD hoping that I can [?] ask Mrs Buckland at that time as my time will be full, but I hope she will when with you [?] [?] to see my Museum in its original state. The Norwich Meeting is to [?] on the 29th July. The dates then will be thus [V & Mat]? 5 to 8th July, Hereford, Fenchurch between 9th & 17th July Agriculture between 19th & 24th July. Norwich between 29th July & 5th Aug.

Yours most truly

I have today received a letter from the Dean of Ely - He proposed times for our excursion sent to him

I fear Dr. Buckland will think that I have forgotten to send the fish but I have been far from well or should have sent it sooner. The Ammonite with its parasites and the wood ditto. I hope Dr. B will accept as a small token of my sense of Dr. B's kind present of the pictures I have already sold saving the [?] of shells are also parasites having entirely displaced the ammonite which always the case with this species of ammonite I fear there is nothing new in the coprolites - trusting that Mrs Buckland and the dear children are quite well.

I remain respectfully your gratefully and obliged humble Servt.

Dear Mr. Buckland
Your first boxes arrived the very morning of Thursday when I had heard from you. They were unpacked under my eyes. The man who was employed by us declared that in his experience of this Exhibn nothing had arrived in so desperate a state of packing [so?] as these boxes! I am sorry to say that much glass, & much plaster too, was smashed. Whatever can be mended, is now in the hands of a very experienced man from the Zool Museum, & I hope the Crown Prince will when visiting us officially on the Opening Day -20th- see everything in a pleasant condition & be most favorably impressed. We are at a loss to imagine what can have induced Mr. Johnson to send off the boxes so late. It is impossible to do full justice to those exhibits which arrived after the opening day which was announced months and months ago! Several boxes are advised today. I hope that yours of Wednesday last may be among the number, & assure you that your exhibits, even if we should not get them until a few hours before the opening shall be placed to the best of our ability. - I say ‘ours’ because my brother Theodore is assisting me. The Committee were delighted when I could announce to them today that you are in a fair way of recovery.
Hoping soon to report favorably,
I remain
With kind regards to Mrs. Buckland

My dear Mr. Buckland
I am truly delighted to learn from your letter of the 24th that your health has derived benefit from your stay at Margate. No time shall be lost by me in obtaining from the Office of sending to you the calculation, with vouchers, of the carriage to Berlin
The cost of carriage from Berlin to London devolves upon the Exhn. Committee, by the stipulations contained in the our Prospectus. As for packing expenses, I think we shall willingly bear them. although all other Nations have borne them, - Italy, Denmark

• do - do - do. If you will send for Mr. Sachs you will hear that he made a present in your name of several exhs to [?] reserved two exhs. for you & offered all the rest without exception to the Fischerei Verein knowing from the experience of your boxes when they arrived here that nearly everything will arrive at its destination utterly spoilt if not destroyed, I answered Mr Sachs by return that I should entreat the Museum authorities here to keep everything. Mr Sachs your representative, answered nothing. I, therefore
  gave over everything to the Museum, in your name (excepting the above mentioned) with the understanding however that if you should change your mind or Mr. S. [or?]I have misunderstood you, each & all of those exhs must be instantly returned to you I will now, therefore, instruct the museum authorities accordingly.
  Ys very Sincerely
  Go. Bunsen

Of course, the Exhn which was closed on 30th June is utterly & entirely cleared by this time.
