              Your Royal Highness

              I must apologise for not having written to you before. I published a chapter on 'Gapes in Pheasants' in 'Land & Water' but we can not find it. I enclose you Mr. Bartlett's note to me on the subject which I think contains the information you require.
              I have got Bartlett to write me an article on Water Fowl especially for Your Royal Highness's benefit. It is published in 'Land & Water' to-day and I trust will be of service to you. I have ordered the numbers of 'Land & Water' about the Hudson Bay furs to be sent to you

              I remain
              Yours most obedient

              Your Royal Highness

              I have made an anatomical examination of your pheasant and have reported on it in 'Land & Water' tomorrow Jan 18th. I will come to Windsor if your R.H. wishes any day, week if you will kindly give me notice. I have just received a basket with four pheasants allow me to thank you very much indeed for your great kindness

              Yours most
              obliged

              I am going tomorrow with the Captain of an Arctic Whaling Ship to the Board of trade see if we can not get a treaty made between Norway, Denmark and England to prevent the fearful destruction of young Seals in March

              Your Royal Highness

              I am really most obliged to you for your kindness in sending me the most interesting paper showing that a cross can be obtained between the Wapiti and the Red Deer. This is a step in advance and I will write a Leader about it in 'Land & Water' advising Scotch proprietors to try the experiment. I myself have no doubt that you will obtain a cross between Reeves' pheasant and the common pheasant and I fancy they will be exceedingly beautiful birds, but these Hybrids will not I think breed again. I am communicating with Mr. Barnes about the Sea Birds and I shall do my best to prevent the Association being broken up.

              With thanks for all
              your Kindness
              Yours most obedient

              Your Royal Highness

              I owe you many apologies for not having written to you before to report the result of my examination of the dead Reeves pheasant. I found that the cause of death was acute inflammation of the lungs in other respects the bird was quite healthy I head from Mr. Menzies that the other pheasants are at Sandpit and dying. They should at once be removed to a dryer and a warmer place or I fear you loose more of them

              Yours most
              obedient and obliged

              Your Royal Highness

              I have seen Mr. Bartlett of the Zoological about your pheasants
              1st He quite agrees with me that dampness is the cause of the malady and that therefore if it be possible the birds should be removed to a dryer place
              2 He agrees with me that the place where they are confined should be roofed over, if the birds can not be removed.
              3 He thinks that they should have pepper corns and that the person who feeds them should mix up some pepper corns in the food if they will not eat the pepper corns placed for them to pick up
              4 We think that gravel is better than turf but that the best thing for them to walk on would be old brick and mortar rubbish - Mr Lee will make enquiries about the mole skins for them. The best man to dress them is Mr [Rulich] 8 Bettisland Street Hoxton. You can easily get enough for a waistcoat this year.

              Your Royal Highness
              Most Obedient
