‘Dear Pearson,

It is unlikely that my few remaining dogs will be of any use now.

Eiligina (338) whom you have seen is still here.

Drum[?] Lady (343) is the dam of D[?]eochry whose skeleton is now being prepared. She was born in April, 1917. I think she might be destroyed & sent to Gerrard for skeleton preparation.

A “Pom” bitch with a pedigree & 2 of her puppies (sire D[?]eochry (367)[)] completes the number of dogs that I have, & should not accept this “Pom” bitch as genuine, as I indicated in a former letter, so she & her puppies I propose to destroy.

I saw Parsons for a few minutes in Glasgow ten days ago at a meeting of the Ophthalmological Society. My time there unfortunately was very limited. It would have been pleasant to have seen more of old acquaintances.

Yours sincerely,

C.H. Usher.

Each of the above was mated with a Pom.’
