To W. D. Fox 9 March [1863]
Summary
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].

To W. D. Fox 16 [March 1863]
Summary
If WDF should hear what ram was put to the ewes, CD would like to add it [see Variation 2: 30].
Will add "cautiously" that WDF believes white and slate muscovy ducks breed true [Variation 2: 40].
