Octavius Hadfield

[extract from letter written by Octavius Hadfield]

I am glad you had an opportunity of seeing such good Romneys. When I was in Kent forty-four years ago I was close to Romney Marsh and I was told that there were not more than 2,500. Now they are spread into many places. There must be some good page 150 in them or they could not have competed with so many improved breeds. They were then never shown at fairs in other places.
