Has seen EWVH’s list of the birds of Madeira, and would like to know more about the ‘occasional visitants’.
Thanks for the very detailed information sent by EWVH.
Would like to compare the length of the wings of non-migratory and migratory swallows.
Wonders if EWVH could show him skins of Columba livia.
Thanks EWVH for his offer but he is not likely to go to London soon to visit John Leadbeater, the bird dealer; he could take a rock pigeon for comparison, but other skins he would have compare at the British Museum.
Would be obliged if EWVH could investigate domestic species in Egypt, especially a type of dog depicted in ancient monuments; and he is particularly interested in tumbler pigeons.
Thanks for offer of pigeons, if breeding is successful; hopes to go to poultry show to see them.
Several questions about the Boz or Booz pigeon of Tunis.
If any of EWVH’s birds die and he does not want the skin, perhaps he would send it to CD.
Will not accept invitation to Hastings, or offer to send pigeons to Down.
Is looking forward to seeing pigeons at Crystal Palace poultry show.
Went to the show and saw EWVH’s birds.
Thinks he will give up his pigeons at the end of the summer.
