Letter to James Cossar Ewart from James Ritchie, 10 June 1931
Ritchie wonders if Ewart's research on plumage could be furthered by examining the succession of plumage in, for instance, a diving duck such as the Eider, as it is near enough to the mallard to promise results but not near enough to suggest identity of development. He then requests a copy of Ewart's portrait to hang in his office at Aberdeen University 'to commemorate your holding of the Aberdeen Chair'.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from John K. Butter, 25 September 1904
