If you will send me a line there saying what time will suit you.

PRIVATE

My dear Mr Buckland
I was just leaving the house to see the first boxes unpacked, which were advised yesterday, but am anxious to catch the early post in order to tell you of the intense relief your letter has brought me. A report had reached us yesterday, through Professor Wm. Peters, of your grave illness. Most truly thankful I am that you can report yourself better. I will do my best to ensure the best possible exhibition of your treasures. The [locality?] is excellent. You will have guessed from the fact of my not having written to you what had happened, viz that the correspondence with England had been taken out of my hands entirely, by our chief Manager who thought that everything could be done better in the old fashioned red-tape bureaucratic manner. Now my predictions have been most completely verified. I am sorry to say. It is a comfort for me to have the superintendence of the English department, together with my brother. We shall exert ourselves to the best of our ability, and keep you informed as we get along.

Believe me
With Kind regards to Mrs Buckland

My dear Sir

Allow me most heartily to congratulate you on your success here. I have had great pleasure in looking over your exhibit, though I do know most of the objects, having seen them in company with yourself. I have just returned from the presentation of prizes
by the Crown Prince, and had great pleasure in hearing your name honourably mentioned as the winner of a gold medal. I was still more pleased to hear from Herr v Bunsen that you are vy much better. I sincerely hope you will vy soon be in your usual
good health again. I am making some WORD observations here which are proving vy interesting. You, and Mr Walpole shall have the result when I pass through London on my way home

With kind regards, and best wishes for your speedy recovery
Believe me
Yours truly

'Charles to keep'

Dear Charles
In his last letter Hugh asked me to get him a copy of 'The Sunday Companion' of the 16th April 1932, as it had a picture of the Grand-father and his family at dinner. After a great deal of trouble I have managed to get a copy from the Editor of 'The Sunday Companion' as a favour on my telling them that it was a picture of the Grand-father. This picture has been shown to all here, also to Frank, Ernest etc. 'The Sunday Companion' publishers do not keep old copies for long, and the one wanted for the 16th April 1932 is a long way back for them. The picture is beautifully drawn and arranged showing very careful details. The words of description are splendid and very well deserved as the Grandfather's and Uncle Frank's good works have lasted so long. I am sending you the original picture, a typed sheet of the article, and three rough pencil tracings. Later on when you have done with it I would like to have the original picture back to send it to Hugh, as it was Hugh that found out about this. There is lovely sun here [?] and I are getting on well with the new foundations of the greenhouse and hope to make a lot of progress at it during the Easter holidays. I have been trying to help with typing some of his letters. I hope you are all keeping fairly well and taking care of yourselves.
Yours ever

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

Yours most Obedient

Your Royal Highness

Mr Bartlett called on me by accident this morning. I told him that you were looking out for ducks for Frogmore. He told me that since your visit to the Gardens he had been looking out for ducks for you and he gave me the enclosed paper from which it appears that he now has a chance of getting for you 36 Birds for 10£. This I consider to be wonderfully cheap.
I write immediately to your Royal Highness to tell you about it. Mr Bartlett would like to have an early answer as to whether you would like the birds or not. Thanking you for all your kindness last Wednesday
I remain Sir
Yours most obedient and obliged

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

Your Royal Highness
most obedient
