Description:
‘My dear Pearson,
Your two points:-
i. Tong II’s four puppies by a red dog, end of 1910 or early in 1911 sexes can not be ascertained. Tong II at that time belonged to a frond of Mrs. Franklin, who I think died or moved. Anyhow Mrs. Franklin wrote that she could not get the sexes.
ii. Sex of V.1. Esh-Shi, is the female. V.6 Tan Chi the male. This is quite clear on my original draft pedigree from which Miss Ryley worked.
I am very sorry to hear about your Tin Lo. Animals do get ill and die in a perfectly unaccountable way – not only dogs but others. As far as my small experience goes a common naked-eye examination often shows nothing wrong. I should be glad to hear in due time what the findings at the Brown Institution are.
I am not all sure that I shall do any more breeding: at any rate for the moment I feel inclined to hold my hand. I was going on very well, then got another attack of this local inflammation on Tuesday, but I hope it is not going to be as bad as the last one. Best wishes for the seasonto Mrs Pearson and yourself.
Yours very sincerely
E. Nettleship.
Please excuse the dictated letter as I am in bed.’
