“IT IS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THEODORE WAS SHOT”
BALFOUR
(Francis Maitland, 1851-1882, Naturalist)
ALS to the Rev. M. C. F. MORRIS
(son of Francis Orpen Morris, 1810-1893, Naturalist) thanking him for his letter, and saying that he is “glad that your father did not put down the Eagles as the Golden - I thought just the same about it, and have not put it down as the Golden Eagle in my book of birds from our County. I am at the present time working very hard for a prize which is offered here - It is the best description of the natural history of any place visited by the writer during the Easter holidays. It includes the Geology which with the ornithology I am at present working at. Yesterday our house had a match at Cricket with Wm. Harriot’s house, in the first innings they beat us by 27 runs... but I hope we will do better in the 2d innings as we were unfortunate in the 1st... the news from Abyssinia is certainly better than one could have hoped for it is very fortunate that Theodore was shot...”, 4 sides 8vo., Harrow, 17th May
