Your Royal Highness
I am exceedingly obliged to you for your very kind letter I have had the 'Seal' correspondence reprinted as I am about to send a copy to the Captains of all the Scotch ships so that the matter can be discussed by them on the spot. I am very grateful to you for your offer to bring the matter before H.R.H. the Crown Prince of Prussia I am sure this would do an immense deal of good. It is really very kind of you. There is to be a fine picture of the Massacre of the Innocents in the 'Animal World'. I will not fail to send you copies. No Gazelles yet I am keeping a sharp lookout
Your most
obedient and obliged
Frank Buckland
Please write H.R.H. the Prince at once or the Seal Ships will be away
Buckland, Francis Trevelyan
