Dog’s toothed violets bud. Lord Stawell made me a visit on this day, & brought me a white wood-cock it’s head, neck, belly, sides, were milk-white, as were the under sides of the wings. On the back, & upper parts of the wings were a few spots of the natural colour. From the shortness of the bill I should suppose it to be a male bird. it was plump, & in good condition.
