Dear Mister Plant,

I am without words to thank you.

The Supplement is very interesting and I need of further information about the very interesting matter of the origin of the Europeans chickens, the Araucana, the recent recoveries in China.

Also the book The mottle gene is very interesting and I have much appreciated the work of Ralph Somes.

I received today some books from Veronica Mayhew. One of these books is that of Crawford, Poultry breeding and genetics. I wrote to Mrs Veronica to find the 3 books you have indicated to me.

I would receive your following books:

The Australian Pekin Bantam - AU$ 45

Chicken Bone Recoveries 1984 - AU$  6

Australian Pit Game - AU$ 10

The total amount: 61 AU$. To mailing it’s better you say me its amount and also the true total amount. I will send you the Australian dollars after you sent me the books.

I have nothing to send to you to requite your books and your kindness. If you need anything from Italy, tell me.

I am waiting for notices about the origins of Bantams, the Yokohama’s colour and about the report of Barbara West. My book is going ahead.

I thank you very much.
