Sent from Alice Lloyd Murray Dew-Smith
18 Jun 1911
Description:
‘Dear Ned,
Ting gave birth to two daughters on Thursday afternoon at 6, & Friday morning at 3. She had rather a bad time (Margaret will tell you – as she was midwife). Both[?] puppies are like the father but darker. One seems to be a dark brindle – the other a dark fawn. Billy is a light fawn. They are funny little objects – like kittens & of course I don’t know what they are going to be like. I should like to sell one for 4 gns or more if she turns out to be a beauty & keep the other, & mate her later on with an albino (Jack for choice) to see if she would have white puppies with black faces. Margaret goes home tomorrow. Ting is a good little mother – can hardly bear to leave the puppies even for her necessary outings – is very gentle with all of us, but fierce with strangers.
Yrs.
A.M.D.’
