Knott asks Ewart what he wishes to do about having pictures printed from the plate of Ewart's zebra to illustrate a paper that was to be have been published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

The letter from Huth to Knott, dated 20 December, enquires whether he can print off the plate as it has been on stone for a number of years.

Plumb asks Ewart for a copy of a paper which he presented to the Royal Society in 1902 on a new species of horse. He mentions that he has used lantern slides in his own lectures showing some of Ewart's work on telegony and regrets not introducing himself to Ewart at the Royal Agricultural Show at York in 1900. He mentions his own work in the instruction in breeds, breeding, feeding and management of domestic animals at Ohio State University.
