Good
Morning Bill:
So very pleased to receive your letter. Will look forward to your book
on: THE PEKIN BANTAM OF AUSTRALIA.
Am
much impressed that you are working on a book:
ORIGIN,
EVOLUTION, HISTORY AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE DOMESTIC CHICKEN
Hope I will not offend you in sending the enclosed for your
information. Am hopeful, that it will be helpful to you. The fact is, there is
a Mr Deterring in GERMANY...that a few years ago was interested in this same
subject. My apologize to Mr Deterring for I promised to send this same
information to him.
FROM
WHAT YOU WRITE....it is most apparent you are delving into the subject deeply.
AS
I WROTE....am not satisfied with the history of the Cochins. Through Dr
Longenecker, feel he can help through their "OFFICIAL COMUNICATIONS".
Mrs Longenecker told my wife they are in touch with an attorney in an effort
to continue working. THIS FORCED RETIREMENT....does not agree with him.
PROFESSOR
SKINNER....too will receive a copy of the enclosed.
To....Dr. Longenecker
Professor Skinner
Professor
Cawley.....I owe very much.
THOSE
THREE GENTLEMEN.....have helped me tremendously. All three have helped greatly
in our book publishing.
MEXT MID AUGUST....we plan to go to the World Poultry
Congress in Helsinki, Finland. Though this is primarily for the
commercial poultry people over the world, still I am hopeful to gain some
HELPFUL INFORMATIONS...at this event. It will only take meet ONE....maybe TWO
dedicated men (women) deeply interested, that the trip will be worth while.
Would love to meet you there! On this trip...will take us to Sweden, Denmark,
Norway. IN SWEDEN, hope to meet Dr Martin Silverrud....he is a
geneticist....poultry breeder.
THANK
YOU FOR YOUR NICE LETTER.
VERY BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR.
