Dear
Rüdiger,
Your
letter and material arrived today for which I thank you very much. Your
information about the Zwerg Cochin is very good and I will be looking forward
to the further information.
Unfortunately
I do not know the German language but have a fiend who ca give me a little
help.
I
was interested to have that there are 20 colours standardised in Germany. We
are going to prepare standards for Furnace
(Brassy Backs and Crele) shortly.
My
son and I have been involved in the Pekin Bantam for around 30 years. I am 74
years old my son is 44 years old.
Unfortunately
my eyesight has failed badly over the last 6 or 7 years which makes things
difficult to do at times.
We
are both executive officers of the Pekin Bantam Club of New South Wales
(Australia) and have been in this position for some years. I have been
newsletter Editor for 20 years.
I
am enclosing a couple o issues of the Pekin Bantam Club of NSW Newsletter. You
may feel free to reproduce material from the Newsletters as well as the books
on the Australian created breeds I am sending you.
All
I ask that due acknowledgement is given both to the origin of the article in
the first instance as well as acknowledgement as coming from my booklets.
I
am only too pleased to be able to assist your in your endeavours with your
book. I think my information may help. The booklets to you are complementary.
Thank you for the address of the German Cochin Club.
I
enjoyed having Elio Corti visit me for 4 weeks. He was able to gain much
information from my files which I have been gathering together from around 25
years.
I
am very busy at the moment as we have our
Annual Club Show coming up in a few weeks.
I
will write a longer letter later.
Regards.
