Item 6 - Letter from H. W. Blake to Miss H. Moodie

Clandon Park Gardens. - Thanks her for the cheque; they have the 'hutches from Fry but until the weeding [?] out is done they are all occupied'; there are also 'the breeding boxes belonging to the Mothers that have had their young taken from them'. Will be glad when they are weeded out: does not mind looking after [the rabbits] but 'when the bucks get to a certain age' they attack each other and 'the one they set on is bit from Head to Tail'; they have now been separated.

Does not think there will be any trouble about disposing of the rabbits, though what can be got for them is 'another matter'. If nothing else, they 'could be sent to market and sold for what they will fetch'. The feeding troughs have not arrived; will be glad to have the. The 'enclosed list [no longer present' Mrs Blake has made out'; thinks Miss Moodie will be able to understand from it 'what progress has been made & the results'.

She does not say how Mr Onslow is; asks her to tell him 'its no trouble for us to do this for him. I only hope please God that he may get well & strong again'.
