Your Royal Highness

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

I can not thank you enough for your great kindness in sending me the great curiosity and perfectly unique [?] Stags Foot. It has already been very much admired I have sent for an Artist to make a drawing of it and I will take care that it is properly put up in situ. Having obtained your permission I will put a notice of this strange event in 'Land & Water' I am indeed obliged for your kindness. I beg to enclose a notice we have [?] relative to the Fresh Water Fisheries Act.

Your most obliged

The Artist who is drawing the Red Deer has been ill and tells me he can not let me have the blocks for this week's 'Land & Water' he has promised me faithfully for next week. [Rulich?] reports he has made a capital job of the foot in situ on the tree branch. I have written about the Duke of Edinburgh's Pike in L & W tomorrow and hope you will approve
I beg to enclose a copy of a paper I am sending round to the chief Fishing ports on the North and East of England and Scotland, there are about 2800 fishing Smacks in the North Sea.
This is quite a new idea and I hear the Fishermen accept the proposition very kindly and now I beg to place a proposition before your Royal Highness
