Your Royal Highness

On Saturday last Jan 22 I received from [Dr. Vougar/Zougar?] the great Swiss pisiculturist a box containing 5000 (five thousand) eggs of the 'great Lake Trout' The Fathers and Mothers of these eggs lived in the lake of Neufchatel. Dr [Vogar/Zougar?] has desired me to present these five thousand eggs to Your Royal Highness. They are now safely lodged in the apparatus at Windsor, Mr. Menzies having sent up a man to receive them from me.
I enclose a note from [Dr. Vougar/Zougar?]. I am sure the Doctor would be very much pleased if you would have the kindness to write him a line to Neufchatel Switzerland. This donation promises well for keeping up the stock of the Obelisk Lake. I enclose a note from [Dr. Vougar/Zougar?] to Your Royal Highness

I have great pleasure in sending you a report of what I did and saw on Saturday last. I trust you will approve of my suggestions. I am truly sorry I was not at my Museum when you were good enough to call. They have not moved almost everything to the other side of the building

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

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.

I have had a beautiful drawing of the Deer's leg in situ made, and intended (as you gave me leave) to publish it in this week's Land & Water. On receipt of the drawing from the Keeper I sent for the Artist who said he could make a nice drawing out of it. So with your permission we will wait till both blocks are ready - I have lent the Artist a drawing of a German Red Deer which you saw when you kindly came here - to fill up the details. As regards the foot itself - I sent it to my friend [Rulich?] he is a working German Stuffer the very best in the world he does the work for many of the big shops - He has some splendid things at his place. If you could call I am sure you would be pleased with the heads and horns.
I have been confined to the house with bronchitis and assure you do not like being on the sick list at all.

Most obliged

I have been at work nearly all day at the Deers Foot [?]. the Printer said he must have 20 lines more to fill up the page see copy enclosed so you see I have taken the liberty of using the information Your Royal Highness kindly sent me this morning. If you will kindly send copies of the paper to owners of Deer Forests in Germany and I will forward copies as I am anxious to obtain as much information as I can for you.

Thanking you very much

[Breton?] has been here. He agrees with me that the marks in the last Fox's skin are the marks of a dog's teeth and I have tried the holes with the fangs in the skull of a hound and they match exactly. I will look up the tests of Strychnene Please send me the other Foxes - I agree with Your Royal Highness the matter is very mysterious and ought to be settled.

Will you allow me to beg your acceptance of a copy of our Deep Sea Fishery report which we have just presented to Parliament through Mr. Cross. Please especially look to my History of Sea Fishes Appendix No.2 Page 178. You will also see that I have followed the [?] you once gave me at the Museum and have given at P 246 a table showing the fish in season during every month of the year. I am now getting ready for the Berlin Fishery Exhibition which is to be held in April 1880.

I remain Your Royal Highness
