Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 22 September 1907
Cecil writes that he thinks the Congested Districts Board pony stud 'an unqualified success' and believes the concept could be extended to other animals such as bulls and sheep. He believes there are around 20 stallions running wild on Barra and wishes Lady Gordon Cathcart would exert her influence to rectify this.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Major General H. Pipon, 30 March 1908
