4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. He requests him to have 'a warrant issued, in my favour, for a Buck from The New Forest, as soon after this letter reaches you, as may be convenient - and that you will give the instructions for its disposal'. He gives three numbered instructions regarding the warrant's packing and dispatch, adding 'going by the Luggage train is essential, in order that the expence may not be excessive'. In a postscript he asks that the buck be 'killed & dispatched ' when the weather is 'suitable'. Kennedy has attached his calling card to the recto of the second leaf with gummed paper. Signed by 'T. F. Kennedy', it carries his name and address printed on one side, and on the other his office ('The | CHIEF COMMISSIONER | of Her Majesty's Woods, &c., | Whitehall Place, | London.').
