Dear
Mr Whitley,
I
recently had communication from Ed Hoffmann in Nova Scotia - Canada - wherein
told me you had done a thesis on Game Birds in the Americas.
My
interests lie in the field of the Origins, Evolution, History and Distribution
of the domestic chicken.
I
have been doing private research for some 12 years on the above subject and
have published some of the results of my research.
I
thought perhaps your work may have touched on the subject. I am concerned with
and as I am always seeking further information decided to write to you. I have
found that any information whatever such as bone recoveries, movements of
civilisations etc etc can have a bearing on the distribution of chickens,
domestic animals and the like.
It
is very difficult to obtain positive evidence on the subject and therefore
have found it necessary to explore any possible avenues.
Perhaps
you know of someone I could contact who may be able to help.
I
have myself published three books/booklets in a series on the subject of
Origins etc. If these would be of any interest to you I would be happy to send
copies to you.
Hoping
we may be able to exchange notes of mutual interest to us both.
Regards.
