Description:
‘My dear Nettleship,
I am here any morning you care to come. I sent Miss Ryley away for a few days holiday, and I am not certain whether you or she has the dog pedigree. I have good photographs of Wee Ling, & a fair one of Tong, I should like you to see.
As to Wang. My point with regard to him is that he is a yellow dog, is he not? We ought therefore to keep him for breeding. If he goes to your [illeg.] then we shall lose him forever.
If we cure his eczema, we can easily find a home for him. If we fail then Mrs B. would I presume still take him. Is the experiment worth making or not? If he is not a highly coloured albino, then the experiment is of little use. Please let me know your views.
Lady Gordon Lennox has not sent hair sample of dog exactly like Goodwood Meh, but the analysis of Ah Cum’s hair is enclosed [not present]. So far Tin[?] Lo has more pigment granules (in her tail) than any of the albinos I have come across, but I think it possible they will go with age.
She is a beautiful little dog, but yesterday I had put her on my knee to feed her as young Ren will not let her have her share & Wee Ling came up and seized her & shook her like a rat, when she was put down. I thought it was all over with her! But I hope it has not been serious, another minute, however, would have done for her. He is a quite unteachable & uncontrollable dog.
I should very much like combings of Pailee to test for granules. I keep photographs for the present. I expect Mrs Brown’s dogs are really[?] light fawn?
Yours very sincerely,
Karl Pearson.’
