Your Royal Highness

I am anxious about the Deer Horns you so kindly allowed me to describe. Shall I send them at once to you at Windsor or should I send them to [Rulich?] to be mounted. He might then bring them down with the Stags foot, would you like them mounted on a stuffed head or on a bit of board.
I enclose your article by General Walker of Berlin

Your Royal Highness

I am afraid I shall not be able to meet you at the Zoological tomorrow morning as I must go to Brighton to help them on to get the Aquarium opened on the 27th. When at the Duke of Northumberland's fishing trap on the [?] last Tuesday I [saw?] the fish you have received swimming about alive and I asked the conservators to send him to you. I am glad you got him all right. At page 8 of the report sent herewith you will see what is going on in the [?] whence came your trout. If you see the Duke of Northumberland please talk to him about it.

Your Royal Highness

I am indeed most obliged to Your Royal Highness for your great kindness in sending me up the magnificent Pike which the Fishman has brought with the greatest care. I have made two models of this splendid fish (one I will beg leave to present (when cast) to Your Royal Highness to put in the Hall at Cumberland Lodge. I will get Mr. Rolfe to pain the cast for you, the other cast I propose to place in my Museum as presented by you. The fish himself, I will get stuffed. It has indeed been a treat to cast such a beauty and I am most obliged.

Dear Mr. Buckland
It was a great pleasure to receive your letter as a proof of your progressing recovery. Since I wrote last, we have worked hard to mend the plaster, & today a respectably recommended painter is at work to cover with color the mended portions, the cracks d(itt)o. No care was omitted when opening your boxes I was personally present. Never did I see a greater havoc as that which this short & easy journey had produced. The damage is practically irreparable. Alas! there is no hope, apparently of seeing the rest of your boxes in time for the Opening & for the Crown Prince’s official visit. My hope is that they may arrive in time to be shown to Their Majesties who have announced their visit for Thursday 22nd out of courtesy to their Son, & wishing to leave him the first place at the
opening ceremony, they have preferred not coming on the First Day. You will receive by next mail a Newspaper -! ‘Berliner Tageblatt’ containing a brief notice of your exhibits in an article which bears my name. The number is printed expressly in honour of the
Opening.

I shall send you whatever comes under my notice in other papers

Let me confess to you (privately) that there is a rage a fury here against the English for having affronted Germany by refusing to take part in our Exhibition. I do my best to tranquillize the correspondents of English newspapers here, also who feel the approbrium cast upon England by that abstention. Lord ----Rupell/Russell I am informed is very much displeased too. Under the circumstances, it will be difficult to create anything like a kindly feeling here, unless you can come yourself & carry everything before you by your enthusiasm

Believe me
Yours very sincerely
Go Bunsen
