From Frederick Wollaston Hutton 8 March 1860
get you some more if you wish for them; If they are of no use to you please throw them away as I can get more if I want them.
I may mention also, on the chance of its being useful, that, on Nov 9th. 1852, I caught on board the Alfred in Lat 2o〃20‘ South and Long 88o〃40’ East, a species of Land rail.1
Hoping that you will excuse me for taking the liberty of writing to you | I remain | Yours truly | F. W. Hutton | 23rd. R. W. Fusiliers
