Description:‘My dear Pearson,
Dogs. A rare chance of a place at
(1) Fulham Road.
(2) at a suburb of Bath (Comble Down)
The latter may be the better, if either, on enquiry, turns out possible. Bath 2 hours from London, Combe Down I understand quite easy by tram from or nearby Bath station. If the dogs are still in Wilts. that might be in favour of Bath?
I will let you know if anything likely comes of either enquiry.
Wang – I will tell Johnston.
Dogs Chapter – of course add anything you like; & further subtract anything you don’t like.
I.E. of course edit whatever way you find desirable, or rewrite it or whatever you like. If you do anything extensive with what I sent a year or more ago my name as another had better come out. I don’t know whether anything in the past year has happened to need big alterations in this matter of what I sent; but please feel free at full liberty to do anything whatever to it or with it as to either matter or method or style.
There will be some few items to add to pedigree from Mrs Dew-Smith’s breedings with my Ting; I shall probably see her before Xmas & she is waiting to give me a note on[?] them when we meet.
Peke & Albinos at Shows. If your information is right there must have been a change of fashion lately. Some years ago one of the breeders (?Mrs Bennett[?] Stanford of ... Hatch, Tisbury, Wilts) tried to establish a breed of albinos recognised & I believe had some at the shows. Then albinism was ruled out & the albinos went under. – There has always been a section of breeders trying to put white Peks. with black nose & “coloured” eyes.
Possibly this revival of Pek-Albino fashion, if it is true, may be a variant on the black-nose craze & may possibly be in some degree an outcome of various bits of amateurish advice I have written from time to time, 2-3 yrs ago, to some of the lady breeders I was corresponding with about points in the pedigree. There is a beautiful pure white Esquimaux [sic] (that is not the correct name for the breed- Samoyed it is – but near enough) with mottled brown nose-pad & irides white or blue but with considerable yellowish pigmentation towards periphery, near here. [It?] Is said to be of a high-class strain & his sibs. also white but with black nose & “coloured” eyes[?], & neither parent white i.e. both parents coloured of sorts.
Very sincerely,
E. Nettleship.’
