‘Dear Mr Pearson,

Mr Andrews thinks £10 a fair price for Choo-Ko. She has many good points as a brood bitch from the Pekingese point of view, as she is compact & low in the legs, & has very heavy bone for her size. Of course if she passed the “wall eye” on to her puppies she would not be worth keeping, but I suppose that would depend a good deal on what dog she was mated to. I enclose her Pedigree and Prince Tuan’s. You will see he is nearly related to O-lo-peen on the sire’s side.

Mr Andrews says if you would care to see the house or garden she would be at home any day next week she thinks, if you would fix a day. And if you would care to see Mr Glesson’s[?] Happa dogs she is sure she would be delighted to show them when she returns home. She is away this week & next I think. She lives near Pershore[?] – not a great distance from Launton[?].

I will send you some hair from the biscuit dog after the show tomorrow. She wants all she has for that occasion.

Yours faithfully,

Maud Scott.’

‘Dear Mr Pearson,

I don’t know any one in this part of the country who would take your dogs, but Miss Betts – my assistant – thinks her sister would do so – if Stansted Essx about an hour from London would suit. I am sure they would be well & carefully kept if she took them.

I saw Miss Dawson’s puppy at [illeg.]Show last Thursday – the one that had blue eyes – the eyes are quite brown now – but lighter in colour than is usual in a Pekingese. Mrs Andrews says if you cannot find [a] blue eyed or “wall eyed” bitch, and decide to take “Choo-Ko” you can have a free stud service to “Prince Tuan” or “O-lo-peen” for her.

She would mate her away from that strain altogether if possible, if she had her for breeding.

She was very interested in what you told her about Pekingese being bred from four different breeds, - if you have any printed or written notes on the subject she would like very much to borrow these, as she could not hear all you said on the subject. If you have time to see Mrs Glesson’s[?] “Happie” dogs & could give her any idea when you would be likely to go, she would write to Mrs Glesson[?] to give instructions to her Kennel Maid to show them if she was not at home herself. I enclose a lock of “[illeg.]” hair... [continued – photo of doc. not present].’

‘Dear Mr Pearson,

“Choo-ko” has always been called “One-eye” & knows that name.

I hope she will soon get accustomed to her new surroundings & belongings – she was very nervous on the journey & the train was so crowded from Oxford that I could not take her out of the basket to comfort her. Being out of coat shows up the injured joint & makes the lameness more noticeable, but she has been quite as lively & active as normal till she left here. I hope she is settling down with you. I enclose receipt for cheque with thanks & hope Choo Ko will turn out a satisfactory speculation.

Yours faithfully,

Maud Scott.’
