Your Royal Highness

I am indeed most obliged to you for your very kind present. It is very beautiful and quite apropos to the work I like so much. I shall value it very much and am deeply grateful to you for it. I am looking forward some day next month to show you over the Brighton Aquarium I shall be free after 10 April. I have now [got?] to go to South Wales and Devonshire on Inspection duty I have not forgotten the Cray fish and the Swans.

Yours most obliged

Frank Buckland
