Dear Mr Plant,

Your letter written in October sixteenth arrived here on the twenty third.

Thank you very much for the commemorative stamps. My grandson Jonathan is going to be very pleased with them when he comes home for the thanks giving holiday vacation the last Thursday in November.

I am enclosing a token of my appreciation. For some time I have been meaning to ask you about poultry judges.

How does one become an Australian judge?

Do you have a licensing system?

Does the individual have to pass some kind of an examination before eligible to be called a judge?

Does he have to pay a fee for the examination?

Is there an expiration date to this license?

Near every Canadian judge is licensed by the ABA and/or the APA and judges under the rules of our standards. They do not recognize the British Standard.

Kindest regards,

PS - Are you a licensed judge?
