Sent fromCharles Howard Usher
10 Jun 1912
Description:
‘... [re: dog photographs]...
Your coming litter by Donald dhu, very good.
I have a new ♀ Pekinese expected to be in season at once. She is to be mated with a black Pom.
Yours sincerely,
C.H. Usher.’
[enclosed in above:]
Cutting from The People, 5th May 1912:
‘At East Bergholt, Suffolk, a nest containing four young white blackbirds has been found. A single young one of pure white may occasionally be found in a nest, while adult birds quite frequently moult white, but four albinos is, to say the least, decidedly uncommon. I have never seen such myself, and so far as I am aware it has never previously been recorded. A photo has, I understand, been sent to another department of this paper, but I shall be pleased to receive a print, and it will be of farther interest to us to know whether either of the parent birds show any signs of white, but the only way to ascertain this would be to catch the adults and place in a large aviary. The Curator of Birds at the Zoo would, I think, be pleased to furnish the necessary accomodation if otherwise unobtainable.’
