My dear Sir, 
Having seen the first number of your work on 
British Birds, which I am sure will be valued as it deserves by 
every Naturalist, I write to say that at any time if you want any 
enquiries to be made here for you, as to the appearance of the 
rarer birds or any point of local ornithology, I shall esteem it 
not a trouble but a pleasure to be entrusted with your wishes- 
Fen birds, as you are well aware, we have here in greater quantities, 
than most parts of England can boast of. Being very much in the 
marshes and upon the broads, I have from time to time noted 
down such facts as have come within my notice, and, as I 
said before, if I can in the slightest degree assist you in a work 
which will be generally prized, the doing so will confer great 
pleasure upon, Dear Sir, 
Yours very truly

you will accept my best thanks for your kind offers of service — 
I am aware that many valuable facts are to be observed and gleaned 
in your locality and have on that account purchased when it was 
published a sketch of the Natural History of Yarmouth and its
