Dear
William,
First
of all many thanks, indeed, for your most kind letter and all excellent help
you gave me! At the moment I really don’t Know how to reciprocate. But at
one of the next evenings I’ll try to reach the president of the German Pekin
Bantam Club to ask for new and further information beside the promised book
which I hope will be on it’s way to you.
Round
about two weeks before I was stopped suddenly in all my efforts to get the “hand
book” ready until July 31st by a telephone call from my friend and "boss"
Josef Wolters telling me that the appointed printing-office wouldn’t be able
to print in this year because of an intervened commission. So I don’t need
to be ready before nest year’s spring which is a big lightening for me, of
course! So I don’t have to go on in extreme hurry like I had to do till now
and will be able to have my investigation much more profound.
But
never the less there are some very pressing engagements which normally would
have had to wait until finishing the manuscript of the “hand book” but on
the other hand should have done several months (!) before. for example a
couple of show reports about nearly half a dozen Club Shows from 1994 for the
three German fancier journals. Normally you have to send those manuscripts
until the end of the March being the deadline. In this year I got special
rights by way of exception because all editors knew about my time pressure in
circumstance with the handbook. But now I have to do all those things
having priority.
So
please give me another two or three weeks to find out all you should Know
about breeding Pekin Bantams in Germany! You will hear from me again as soon
as I will be ready in reporting about the last year’s show season (shows in
Germany are only held from September until January).
At
last I wish you all the best and very may your Annual Club Show be a success!
Regards,
