Sent from Charles Howard Usher
3 Nov 1912
Description:
‘Dear Pearson,
The two litters of Pompek x Pompek pups have arrived. The two pairs were marked on the same day. The litters were expected on Nov. 1. The First litter arrived on 28th Oct. and unfortunately all have died. None have albinotic coats.
The second litter arrived on November 1st. There are 2 black females & 1 albino male. Only one is alive today, a female, although great care was taken with them. It is very disappointing this heavy mortality.
The vortex to under lower jaw measurements were made to compare the greater depth of muzzle in No. 1 of Buna’s lot with the others.
I shall examine the eye when they are hardened & microscope 1 or 2 of them.
Yours sincerely,
C.H. Usher.
A piece of skin of the albino pup has been kept for microscope and a piece of the white patch from chest. Also pieces of skin from Yfa’s pup 1, one part from white patch & another part of black skin.
Shall I send these to you?’
