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

For[warde]d by Mr Audubon

My dear [Prof?]

The bearer of this note, Mr Audubon, is a very extraordinary person who has spent almost one half of his life in the forests of America - he is I dare say already known to you by reputation and if you can in any way recommend him to your Librarians so as to promote the publication of his great work on ornithology you will render a service to the scientific world as well as to an excellent individual. He came here from Edinburgh and had excellent introductions and I should rejoice to hear he was well [started?] at Oxford. He has lived so much out of the society of intellectual [?] that he does not say much in company, but his account of the Forest Life is highly interesting - when am I to have the pleasure of seeing you and Mrs Buckland here? Mr. and Mrs Murchison proposed to come but they have given me the slip and are off to Paris. I have not been in Town since our anniversary dinner. Have you any news from [?] by the way you will be happy to hear that Babbage is elevated to Newton's chair.

Yours most truly
A Segdwick
