text: Dear Hutton,
text: I'm afraid I made a mistake about a bird. The crested eagle you asked about (Sema 'alu'?) is quite certainly 1209 LOPHOTRIORCHIS KIENERI Rufous-bellied Hawk-eagle and not spizaetus nepalensis. I only found out my mistake this morning.
text: I have asked Ngaku to get some Aoshed poison from Yongemdi, but they don't come in very often now owing to influenza. Ngaku tested some I had and found it had gone bad.
text: Splendid news about Turkey. I have given the wherewithal to rejoice all round.
