Dear
M/S Dupré,
Thank
you very much for the copies of Avicultura
one of which I have passed onto my son David.
First
o all I must congratulate you of both the quality of the production and the
contents - Both I give top marks.
We
thank you for your review and mention. I am sure it will be of much assistance
to us and we are only too happy to be of assistance from this part of the
world.
Only
few days ago we held our Annual Pekin Club Show together with the Leghorn and
Ancona Clubs. All told around 700 birds were scheduled between the three
breeds. It was a successful event once again with exhibitors travelling from
there of the eastern States of Australia. We should have some Pekin
photographs a little later on. Still haven’t finished any articles for you
although I have them drafted out. My humble apologies for that but you will
get them.
As
well Dr Corti was here for a month going through my files and copying much
material. I feel his visit was profitable to both of us for whilst going
through my library he discovered material that was most useful to me also.
Over
the last couple of weeks I have been busy with preparations for our Show as
both David and I are involved in the administration of the show. It involves a
lot of work.
I
correspond with quite a number of people which also takes some keeping up
with.
Now
at the age of 74 years I’m not as quick with things as I used to be but at
the some time. I enjoy what I’m doing and find it most satisfying. Thanks
again.
Until
next time.
Regards.
