Your Royal Highness

I am really most obliged to you for your kindness in sending me the most interesting paper showing that a cross can be obtained between the Wapiti and the Red Deer. This is a step in advance and I will write a Leader about it in 'Land & Water' advising Scotch proprietors to try the experiment. I myself have no doubt that you will obtain a cross between Reeves' pheasant and the common pheasant and I fancy they will be exceedingly beautiful birds, but these Hybrids will not I think breed again. I am communicating with Mr. Barnes about the Sea Birds and I shall do my best to prevent the Association being broken up.

With thanks for all
your Kindness
Yours most obedient

Your Royal Highness

I owe you many apologies for not having written to you before to report the result of my examination of the dead Reeves pheasant. I found that the cause of death was acute inflammation of the lungs in other respects the bird was quite healthy I head from Mr. Menzies that the other pheasants are at Sandpit and dying. They should at once be removed to a dryer and a warmer place or I fear you loose more of them

Yours most
obedient and obliged
