SIR, Wilton-houfe, Dec. 20, 1786. 
The half-bred Wolf-bitch you allude to was given, as I 
have always underftood, to Lord Pembroke by Lord Clan- 
brassil. She might, perhaps, have been bought at Brookes’s 
by him. She had four litters, one of ten puppies, by a Dog 
between a Mattiff and a Bull-dog. One of thefe was given to 
Dr. Eyre, at Wells in Somerfetfhire, and one to Mr. 
Buckett, at Stockbridge. The fecond litter was of nine 
puppies, l'ome of which were lent to Ireland, but to whom I 
know not. This litter was by a different Dog, but of the 
fame breed as the firft. The third litter was of eight puppies, 
by a large Maftiff. Two of thefe were, I believe, fent to the 
prefent Duke of Queensberry. The fourth litter confiffed 
of feven puppies; two of which were lent to M. Cefjat, a 
gentleman who now refides at Laufanne in Switzerland, and is 
famous for breaking dogs remarkably well. Thele two puppies 
were, however, naturally fo wild and unruly, that he found 
it impolhble to break them. She died four years ago, and the 
following infeription was put over the place where fhe is buried, 
in this garden, by Lord Pembroke’s orders. 
Here lies Lupa, 
whofe grand-mother was a W olf, 
whofe father and grand- father were Dogs, and whofe 
mother was half Wolf and half Dog. She died

on the 1 6th of October, 1 782, aged 1 2 years. 
I am forry it is not in my power to give you any better 
account ; but if you think proper to write to Lord Pembroke,
