Dear Mrs Banning,

My apologies for lateness in answer. The books arrived in good order and condition and I thank you very much. Your Japanese book is very good for breeders of this delightful Bantam.

I have been speaking to the Secretary of the Bantam Club of the NSW, this Club having gone into the Poultry book business of selling. The Secretary is also Editor of our monthly journal, the Fanciers Gazette. I will write a review for the Gazette which may assist  in selling a few copies in Australia. They have supplies arriving shortly so he tells me.

Of course I couldn’t read the Sebright Handbook  but I have Dutch friends here in Maitland (who I think came originally from Limburg) and have shown it to them. They will translate any bits and pieces for me I may need later on. Once again thanks so much. It is really appreciated.

Glad to know that my book arrived OK. Would be interested in your comments after you have read it through. I am at the moment working with Loyl Stromberg of the US supplying information on Australian breeds for a proposed book he hopes to publish an Encyclopaedia of fowls of the world. Hope you are keeping well.

Sincerely,
