27/7/96.
By this mail of the week, dear Prof Milne-Edwards, I send a small case with some few eggs of rare birds of North-Eastern Australia. I hope to have by the French Mail-Steamer an other case ready, but am not certain yet, as some Minerals, which I expected, have not yet arrived. In the case will be also a parcel of my works, so far as they were yet obtainable for the Library of the Institut. I have not yet heard from Prof. Lacroix, whether the last minerals proved of Interest to his collection in the Galleries of your great museum

Let me hope, that you are happy and well
With regardful remembrance your
