Your Royal Highness

Tomorrow Tuesday I propose to send down for your inspection a most beautiful screen representing Spring and Summer flowers painted from nature by my good sister Mrs Gordon. If you would be so very kind as to submit the screen to H.R.H. The Princess I should feel it is a great compliment to the family still more so should any opportunity occur to show it to Her Majesty The Queen. Mr Serle (my Secretary) will also submit to Your Royal Highness a cast of your Monster Pike. Another cast painted by Mr Rolfe will be shortly send for your acceptance.

Yours
most obedient
