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.

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.
