Dear
Mr Plant,
I
am somewhat concerned that I have not heard from you with respect to the
descriptions of the Pekin, Australian Game and the Australian Pit Game
bantams. I had hoped to have these available for discussion at our upcoming
annual meeting in Columbus, Ohio, the second weekend in November.
In
connection with the comb description of the Australian Game Bantam it may be
that you will wish to delete the part ...... has to do with dubbing. Is it
your custom not to require dubbing of game bantams when they are exhibited in
the show room?
I
realize that you have been having problems with sickness in your family, but
can you just send me a very short note on the progress to date on these three
breeds.
My
grandson Robert is presently in the process of preparing black and white
illustrations on twelve European breeds of bantams which I have finished
working on with Mrs A.C.Banning of the Netherlands and I have a notion that he
might prepare the illustrations for the two Australian Game breeds.
Mrs
Gary has been in the hospital for the third time this year, this last time for
the removal of a cataract. She is doing nicely but has not yet attempted to
drive the car in a situation where there is anything but a small amount of
traffic. We do go every morning to a restaurant for breakfast, to the post
office and occasionally to the bank. She will hopefully have full vision when
glasses can be fitted.
With
the inclusion of the four breeds that I have been working with you on it is
now possible that we will have one hundred one breeds with nearly six hundred
varieties of bantams in the fifth edition. There is no other manual anywhere
in the world that would be comparable that I know of.
Sincerely,
