Dear M/S Dupré,

Thank you very much for the copies of Avicultura one of which I have passed onto my son David.

First o all I must congratulate you of both the quality of the production and the contents - Both I give top marks.

We thank you for your review and mention. I am sure it will be of much assistance to us and we are only too happy to be of assistance from this part of the world.

Only few days ago we held our Annual Pekin Club Show together with the Leghorn and Ancona Clubs. All told around 700 birds were scheduled between the three breeds. It was a successful event once again with exhibitors travelling from there of the eastern States of Australia. We should have some Pekin photographs a little later on. Still haven’t finished any articles for you although I have them drafted out. My humble apologies for that but you will get them.

As well Dr Corti was here for a month going through my files and copying much material. I feel his visit was profitable to both of us for whilst going through my library he discovered material that was most useful to me also.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been busy with preparations for our Show as both David and I are involved in the administration of the show. It involves a lot of work.

I correspond with quite a number of people which also takes some keeping up with.

Now at the age of 74 years I’m not as quick with things as I used to be but at the some time. I enjoy what I’m doing and find it most satisfying. Thanks again.

Until next time.

Regards.
