Dear
Elio,
Thank
you for your letter, master copy for the letter head and the catalogue master.
They are very good. Thank you. Also the other material. I haven’t had time
to read it yet. I like you am very busy in this moment. I did the copying
which enclosed. I had a little trouble with a few of the sheets but I think it
is all done. I cut some of the surplus paper off the photocopies to save
weight. You may have to sort it into order. I didn’t do Brown, as you said
you may be able to get the book.
Frank
was able to purchase a second hand guillotine for me, not very expensive; this
will enable me to turn up any of the books I publish if necessary. They will
look better.
We
had the Maitland Poultry Club Show last Sunday. It went quite well. You might
be able to do something for me. I have been talking with our local member of
the Australian Government and told
him I wanted to publish my material. It may be possible to obtain some
assistance from the Government, perhaps a good photocopies, some financial
assistance and the assistance of someone to help me sort out my files. I have
to go to his office shortly to discuss this with him. He will try and help.
I
need references from people I have corresponded with to prove that my
researches have been useful. Could you write a letter heading it To
whom it may concern. stating that
your trip to visit me was to obtain information that was not readily available
in Europe and that you spent many hours searching and copying my files. If you
could do this it would be much appreciated.
I
am going to ask Carter, Carefoot, Jeffrey to do this also. OK regarding
Eduardo. I guess you will be pleased to have him back in Italy.
I
have not had time to write to Rich yet but will do so as soon as I can. Joyce
and her husband have gone away for a month on holidays. It has been very cold
this last week, the coldest days for some years.
Enclosing
an article on French Game Fowl. It may be useful to you.
Must
press on. All the best.
