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
[F,B.]?

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
