Sent from Charles Howard Usher
20 Oct 1912
Description:
‘Dear Pearson,
The spanner has arrived safely many thanks. I hope there will be something to measure soon. A few days ago I saw the two Pompek bitches that are mated to with Pompek dogs & it seems quite evident that one of them at any rate is to have pups.
On 1st Oct. Dido (pom. ♀) had 2 ♀ pups both died in a few hours the father is Donald bahn (Pekinese albino). This is Dido’s 2nd litter. The pup’s coats are like the other pom-peks. Shall I send the skins to you or photograph them here. Description of coats on separate sheets.
...[re: winter whitening of coats (refs, research)]...’
