Berlin W.
26 July 1880
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.
