‘My dear Pearson,

This from Mrs Lowes (a former possible receptor of your dogs) has (1) the practical question for you (not me) at foot of p.3a. I don’t know that you want Peke x Pompek? but if you do & have a [male] Pompek you may like to take the opportunity when Mrs L’s alb. bitch Dodo is ready. Dod evidently belongs to the Jack & Jill rather than the Tong side of the pedigree. If you will let me know & also return me Mrs L’s letter (which I cannot acknowledge anyhow) I will tell her accordingly. Her list of monstrosities is (if authentic) sufficiently appalling!

(2) Dodo’s pedigree: you can work her into her place of course.

I like, & am very grateful for, both your portraits; one always wants profile & full face for the whole person. My wife is very much obliged by your kind offer & will write to you; she has been a little on the shelf this week but all right in a day or two I expect.

I have an accumulation of letters etc. – today so please excuse brevity.

Yours sincerely,

E. Nettleship.’
