‘My dear Nettleship,
Till now I have not had a chance of writing to say thank you for all the trouble you took on Friday. It was to me and to many others a great pleasure to see all the dogs together and hear your talk about them. I had never seen them all before & it certainly shows the many gradations that undoubtedly exist. I hope you will take every care that is possible of your two “lesser albinos”. It seems to me essential to increase their number & determine, if we can get still lesser grades. What a pity that the one with the lilac skin died! It was good to see how much bigger Wee Lind and Wee Chou are than Jack. Wee Tong is said to have had “a fit” and was not able to come. I hope Mrs Nettleship was not tired. I so much wished I could have had more talk with you both, but I seemed to have time to talk with nobody.
If you would write to Dr Malcolm Morris 8 Harley Street, about Miss L. Quirk’s eyes, I think perhaps you would get more information than I should. Miss Quirk, a pupil of mine, talked quite freely about the leucoderma and gave me her doctor’s name. She told me her sister had leucoderma, but not her brother. It came on with her mother about 20 & then her mother’s eyes were affected, so that the mother is blinded in a strong sunlight. Her maternal grandparent (?♀ or ♂ , yet to be ascertained) also had leucoderma. They had her & her sister’s eyes examined because they feared that they might be affected like the mother’s. Most probably, Dr Morris could put you in touch with Mrs Quirk’s oculist.
Yours very sincerely,
Karl Pearson.’
