Mr Buckland Sir
I am ashamed of you as ort to be as is thought to be a Natteralist about them ere lions in Daniels den. Yes they hev fine Manes no doubt in the Pictur and you ar all right Sir about the [?] of the 3 year old at our establishement Mr Jamrach as gos in for the ould testiment he says they niver had South African black manes in Nebukednezers country. You may hev seed the Maneless lion as was in the Zoological sum years back and cum from North of India. Well I tuk my missus a Whitmunday to the Kademy and seed the pictur cost me two bob and a Whituesday we went to the british Museum free gratis and tuk her into the [?] where Nebukednezers hartist has drawed in stone the Assisirrian Lions in a way as shows that he observed ther nature and must have bin the sort that ort to have med a mil of Daniel and they have no more Manes nor the Maneless lions as are now in North Indier. Its all right what you say of the Kademy hartists that they should observe nature more and I says they should not go to the Cap to get lions for Daniels den but other folk besides hartists should look to nature and the geograffical dustribution of beastes.
Your humble Servant

Dear Miss Buckland
Sir Roderick was so good as to send me a copy of his address to the Geogr. Soc. which having read with avidity as being a very able & satisfactory paper, and having much liked the brief but telling notice of your dear father I tried to procure from the
printer a copy to send to you - and your good mother and sisters - but having failed I was about to send you my copy by this post, - my young ladies however interfered -and assure me that there is no possible doubt of Sir Rodks having already despatched one of his earliest copies to St. Leonards Is that the case or not? - If not, you shall by return of post have that belonging to Yours faithfully
[F,B.]?
