Dear
Elio,
I
hope the photocopies arrived OK. Today I received a letter copies of the
German Small Animal Breeder and some German Poultry etc. magazines. Also some
interesting information about the Pekin in Germany. Good information.
I
am sending copies of my booklets on Australian breeds as Rüdiger Wandelt,
from Marburg, is compiling a book on Poultry breeds.
I
understand from your letter that you are able to obtain Brown’s book. I will
copy from Carter as soon as I can. I have been very busy with our annual show
and catching up on correspondence.
I
am going to Frank Fogarty place Saturday/Sunday, there is a Poultry show out
where we went to see the Brush Turkeys.
I
went to see the Government man yesterday in an endeavour to obtain some
assistance from the Government to document all the material you suggested. He
is going to make some enquiries and see if anything can be done.
Also
went to eye doctor today. I have to have some laser treatment done on one of
my eyes. I hope to be going to Brisbane for a few weeks in August. The weather
should be good up there at that time of the year. It usually is.
Tony
tells me there is still a lump on the bird you operated on, but it is OK. I
had to get the veterinary to Bob. His ear swelled up. He is on medication and
the swelling is going down and seems much better. He sits in front of the
heater each night.
I
am enclosing a Newsletter (current). My article on barring, mottling etc.
appears in it. I will add to this in the next issue and bring in the
information on thyroid.
Our
Pekin Annual Show in 3 weeks time at Newcastle work to do for that. I may have
told you I obtained a copy of Encyclopaedia Botanica in Newcastle OK. I still
have to write to Rich. Have been too busy. Hope Eduardo gets back soon.
Regards.
