Dear Mr Buckland
I had the pleasure of receiving your friend Mr. [Wattel] yesterday afternoon & think him a very intelligent, very modest man. He accompanied me to a sort of public Conference, in which I had to take the chair, about Sea-fisheries, & I introduced him to our Minister of Agriculture & ½ a dozen of our leading men. This morning I shall meet him & he shall then be introduced to all our Foreign Commissioners, such at least as are here. The next time you do me the honor of writing pray mention the state of your health. On Saturday (tomorrow morning) an official visit to the English Dept. is planned, in which my brother & I will show your Exhibits, as well as we can!

With my best compliments to Mrs. Buckland, & to your sister Mrs [Bunyan?] whom I had the pleasure of meeting the other day,

believe me
Yours very sincerely
Go Bunsen

We close on 30th inst. No Cook’s Tourists, that I can hear of!
