over,* without shewing “ unbrotherly feeling” before to me ; but 
as he says that there is “ nothing extraordinary in the case,” I 
must rest contented. 
In regard of the elegant description of me, as “ curing all dis- 
eases,” it betrays an absolute want of sense on the part of Mr. 
Pope, and is not worth my regard. 
I now lay before you, for insertion in your next month’s Journal, 
a letter which 1 received from the gentleman to whom the mare 
belonged ; and I will leave it to the discernment of the veterinary 
public whether the “ unbrotherly feeling” existing belongs to 
Mr. Pope or me. 
To Mr. George Cross, V. Aberdeen. 
Si R, Mains of Dumbreck, 12th May, 1837. 
Having been shewn a communication from Mr. Pope, of 
Tarves, in The Veterinarian for this month, wherein you 
are charged with unprofessional conduct, and endeavouring to 
prejudice me against Mr Pope, as this is incorrect, I think it 
necessary to state the facts of the case. My mare having been 
under Mr. Pope’s treatment without success, I considered it ne- 
cessary to have more advice on the matter, and sent for Mr. 
Chalmers, from Tarves, and requested him to get you to give him 
a consultation on the mare, which he promised to do ; and hence 
the reason of your visit. 
With reference to the charge of endeavouring to prejudice me 
against Mr. Pope, it is quite incorrect ; and so far as my memory 
serves, his name was not even mentioned by you. Leaving you 
at liberty to make any use of this communication you think ne- 
cessary, 
I am, Sir, 
Your’s respectfully, 
Alex. Bean.
