Cheque for books, stamps for CD’s son.
Has quoted WDF on crossing white and slate muscovy ducks [Variation 2: 40]. When not crossed, do these breed true?
Will also quote him on Mr Woodd’s white ewes that produced black lambs by a ram with only black spots [Variation 2: 30].
Is grateful for JH's report on his paper. Regarding the plates for this paper.
