Dear Mr Roces,

I thank you for your letter and information of 21st May. I will take your advice and make contact with the Sri Lanka Consul.

I do not visit Sydney regularly and it may be necessary to make an appointment to see the Consul so will give then a call or write.

It may be worthwhile following up Anuradhapura archaeological diggings for I have found during my research that it is necessary to follow up any lead that arises in the hope it yields some fresh information and fills another gap.

I will be working on books concerning the histories of the Australian created breeds of fowls in the near future. This work will take some time. I however in the meantime as soon as the opportunity arises I will prepare a paper covering this subject of the Australian breeds in a broad sense and send a copy to you which you may find suitable for a story.

Keep up the good work with Geo. We all need to know more of our own and surrounding areas.

Once again thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely yours,
