Your Royal Highness

I owe you many apologies for not having answered your very kind letter before. I have been overwhelmed with work. I have received a note from Mr. Menzies and have received your instructions from him. I hope to be at Windsor next Saturday morning at 11.15 and will do whatever your Royal Highness wishes - I should much like to inspect the breeding troughs by the Obelisk Lake

Yours most obedient and obliged

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

I am exceedingly obliged to you for taking such interest in the poor Seals I sent you Copies of all the papers. It will be very good indeed of you if you will put them before the Crown Prince - The 'French Society for the Protection of Animals from Cruelty' have awarded me a medal (not yet received) for my Seal paper. I am most obliged for your kind offer about the Museum I will write you a separate letter about this. I open the Aquarium at Manchester next Thursday and give evidence about Eels at Gloucester on Saturday
Again thanking you

Your Royal Highness
I beg to send you some more papers about the poor Arctic Seals. The matter I hear will come before the House of Commons in a day or do, probably the papers will be distributed on Thursday or Friday next. On the part of the poor Seals may I ask you kindly to submit one of the enclosed to Her Majesty. This is taking a great liberty but I am sure Her Majesty would be willing to throw her protection over the poor Mother and Baby Seals in the far distant Arctic Ocean.

For many months past I have been working at my new book which is now nearly finished. I beg to enclose you a copy (in proof) as well as the Title Page. I am now going to ask your Royal Highness a great favour. It is to allow me to dedicate the book to you.

You have been always so kind in encouraging my natural history labours that by allowing me to dedicate my book to you will put a sigillum on your many acts of kind encouragement.

I remain

May it please Your Royal Highness

I am exceedingly obliged to you for your very kind letter received this morning and an more than gratified that Her Majesty the Queen has been good enough to express her approval of my [Report?] It has been I assure you a real pleasure to have been able to enquire into and report upon a question of practical Natural History of this kind. I promise Your Royal Highness not to write a word about it to the Public press - I am very much obliged to you for sending me the Photograph which is of the highest interest to me, you will find the whole matter of Stag horns treated in my new book, a copy of which I hope to send you on Monday or Tuesday. I have received some eggs of the 'pinnated Grouse' or 'Prairie fowl' from Richard Valentine Esq. of Wisconsin, America through the Editor of 'Forest & Stream' New York. I send you half a dozen of these eggs (the others are gone to Mr. Bartlett) and shall feel much obliged to you if you would order them to be placed under a sitting hen immediately. The American letter is dated June the 24th I am therefore afraid that the eggs won't come to much, but never the less it might interest you to see them, and I shall be very obliged if you will give them a trial.
Again thanking you much for all your kindness

I have the honour to remain
