Description:
‘Dear Mr Nettleship,
“Single ovum twins”. Low has given a reference & enclosed is his letter [not present].
Dogs: Mairi bhan had to be killed, she was thin for months & had vaginal discharge. There were about 2 ounces of pus in uterus containing a nearly pure culture of streptococcus; no remains of an abortion present & rest of body healthy.
New litter of Pom-pek black bitch & alb. Pekinese dog in Edinburgh. There are 5 pups all ♀, two are black; 2 are piebald, genuine white & black & one is cream colour, like the other albino Pekinese, with patches of pale liver colour. Two have died a piebald & the cream colour one. I have seen these two the former has a brown iris, the latter grey with red pupils. The dark patches have a similar arrangement in each dog, that is where the black patches are in the black & white dog the pale liver colour patches are on the cream coloured dog. Their heads are like Pekinese. The two Pompek bitches here will be mated to Pompek dogs when old enough.
Yours sincerely,
C.H. Usher.’
