Your Royal Highness

For many months past I have been working at my new book which is now nearly finished. I beg to enclose you a copy (in proof) as well as the Title Page. I am now going to ask your Royal Highness a great favour. It is to allow me to dedicate the book to you.

You have been always so kind in encouraging my natural history labours that by allowing me to dedicate my book to you will put a sigillum on your many acts of kind encouragement.

I remain
Your Royal Highness

I have seen Mr. Rulich about the Deers Foot and Horns. He will bring them both down to you next Wednesday 16th leaving Paddington 8.15am arriving Great Western Station 9.10am. I have told him that I would ask Your Royal Highness to send the cart for him if you would be so very kind as to do so.

Yours most
obedient and obliged

According to your kind permit I have described the big Deer Horns in Land & Water to-day. I have sent them to Mr [Rulich?] Upper George St, Bryanstone Square and told him to take them to you with the Stags foot in the case. [Rulich?] wants to know if the shall mount the Windsor Great Park Horns for you and if so whether on a plain stand or upon another head with skin etc. Will you kindly give him your orders about bringing down the foot and the horns. I am away all next week on inspection duty

Yours obliged

I have this moment received the enclosed from my friend Mr Walker the Photographer. I thought you would like to see them kindly return them to me. H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh most kindly came to the Fish Museum with the Duchess. I am Tremendously pleased, particularly as he brought H.R.H. the Duchess. I wrote the 'Wild Animal Market' in to-day's paper to amuse H.R.H. That vulgar article in to-day's L & W about the Scorpion [fight?] was put in by the [?] editor quite against my wishes

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.

most obedient

My dear Buckland

I am passing thro Town on my way to Cambridge and have just stumbled on a park. If my Servant passed thro' Oxford and remembered to call for my Hat good - But if not pray send the said Hat to the office of the Cambridge [?] in order that it may be conveyed with the least delay to my head quarters in Trin. Coll. An old white Beaver is the present covering of my unacademical nob. and it will cut a sorry figure with a gown My coat is out of elbows and my [?] (made by the way by the fair hands of Mrs. B) is without any lining so I have need to call in all my reserves. My love to Eva and the rest of your squadron, my best regards to Madame

Yours ever

Dear Mrs Buckland

I am this moment going out on a two days excursion from Cambridge and as one term is drawing to a close I am desirous of again assuring you how much we shall be delighted to see you in Cambridge - I have written to Mrs Murchison whom I fully expect to meet you. Pray has Dr. Buckland had any communication with [Langham?] on this subject as he promised in his last? I would write to [Langham?] this eve but I don't know where to address him as I am told he is [away] from home. Excuse this scrawl. I am writing in a dreadful hurry while a friend waits at our gates in a gig. If I delay longer I shall make him break our [commitments/commandments?]

[Most truly yours]

Dear Buckland

I have just time before the Post shuts to tell you that a Professorship of Ecology at Dublin is vacant and that Phillips of York is in the field. Can you contrive to write to any of your Dublin friends to give him a [shove?] It will be an admirable thing to get so good an English ecologist at Dublin. It is impossible to find in the British Isles another candidate who is half so good. How are you all at Oxford - Madam, Frank, my daughter Eve etc etc

Yours always
