REMINISCENCES OF BERT DRAGE 



will send me a cheque soon for the brown mare 

 when you have disposed of her. It is such a pity 

 she turned out so badly after all our hopes, as apart 

 from that one fault she is perfect. 



I have got all the horses turned out now at 

 Windsor and I hope that '* Hildebrand " will look 

 something different next season (if there is one). 



Yours sincerely,

Dear Drage, 



Thank you for your letter and for your kind 

 suggestion re my hunting this year. I fear that 

 it will not be possible, and I must tell you the 

 tragic news that I am going to sell all my horses 

 at Leicester on October 31st. It is a very sad 

 for me as I do really enjoy my hunting, and after 

 all you have done for me it seems such an ungracious 

 thing to do. But facts are facts and I must do it. 

 I will send you my card giving particulars when it 

 is printed, and you may perhaps know of some 

 possible buyers of really tried out horses. 



I shall miss my hunting more than I can say
