But I should very much like to call at the Museum on Friday or Saturday morning and see you.
Would you let me have one line either here or at 57, Queen Anne Street, to say at what hour you generally come to the Museum, and whether you will be probably there on Friday or Saturday? Even if you are at the Club, it will be a mere chance if we sit near each other. I will bring up the articles on Thursday afternoon, and leave them under charge of the porter at the Museum.
They will consist of large drawings of a Pouter, a Carrier, and rather smaller drawings of some sub-varieties (which breed nearly true) of short-faced Tumblers.
Also a small drawing of Scanderoon, a kind of Runt, and a very remarkable breed.
Also a book with very moderately good drawings of Fantail and Barb, but I very much doubt whether worth the trouble of enlarging. Also a box (for Heaven's sake, take care!) with a skull of Carrier and short-faced Tumbler; also lower jaws (largest size) of Runt, middle size of Rock-pigeon, and the broad one of Barb.
