Dear Ned,
I sent you a card asking you to send Ting’s pedigree to Mrs Stormont – but if you have not done so – don’t as I have just had the enclosed letter saying she would prefer the fee! I felt rather annoyed at first, as she offered of her own accord to let Ting mate with one of her dogs without a fee on condition that she should have the pick of the litter & I accepted on those conditions - & of course she ought not now to suggest the fee. However she is like many of these dog breeding ladies a little shifty! As she lives in Rhyl & I don’t much like her I think I will pay the fee & have done with her & trust to selling some of the puppies to pay it. If you have no objection.
Prince Pu is a handsome black Pekingese – so I hope he will suit your purposes. You will want his pedigree & I suppose a lock of his hair - & I think the best plan would be for you to write direct to her (in a few days time - so that she will have heard from me first) asking for them - & of course ignoring my affair with the fee or “pick of the litter” – I told her about your scientific investigations so she will understand – I enclose her letter that you may see how things stand.
Yrs in haste,
A.M.D.
The puppies ought to arrive on Nov. 23rd. Would you like to have her for the “accouchement”[?]’
