National Museum
11th November 1863.
Dear Sir,
I will not fail to have the information required to enable His Excellency to reply by next Mail, to the Duke of Newcastles letter prepared in ample time,1 but as the reply does not depend on myself alone & involves some grave considerations, I have been unable to reply directly.
I remain
Dr Sir
Very Truly Yours
Fredk McCoy
Director of Museums2
