Arundel, Keilor
May 2d 1882

Gentlemen,

The red Ayrshire cow-calf I forward you today along with "Cockies Daughter" and "Cockies Grand Daughter", has been calved on the 10th of October 1882.  She is out of Cockie's Daughter and got by Dundonald, a perfectly pure bull of the brown variety of Ayrshire Cattle imported from Scotland to Geelong by the late Horatio Wills.  I used this young bull in the latter end of '81 and beginning of '82, but eye disease having seased on the Cattle at Warlaby, on which farm he was then running, he became blind and was sold to the butcher.  He left me very fine stock.

You may point out to your Constituent that Moorcock, the champion bull, is a son of Old Cockie, the dam and grand dam of your present consignment, a guarantee that this old Cow is of the right sort.

Yours truly

R. McDougall

Messrs. King & Cunningham
