Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 04 April 1911
Ewart thanks Elwes for his information on sheep, which he will need for a paper he is to write. He writes that William Eagle Clarke did not land on Soay but hopes to do so on his next visit to St Kilda.
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 28 April 1911
Ewart writes that he will show Elwes Mr Cowan's Shetland sheep at Penicuik and compares features of the Soay and the dun-faced sheep.
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 20 August 1911

Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 12 August 1912
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 17 October 1912
Ewart writes that the embargo on transporting sheep and cattle between England and Scotland will be lifted in a few days. He thinks he may get the use of one of the islands in the Forth for sheep that are too wild for fences. He asks whether Elwes knows the Ryeland breed of sheep, as it has been suggested that he should put some to the 'Siberian' ram.
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 21 October 1912
Ewart writes that he will let Elwes know about the Ryelands ram. The cost of enclosing the sheep at the forthcoming Royal Highland Agricultural Show depends upon how many sheep Elwes is planning to exhibit; he should be able to cover the costs for the fencing by charging for the exhibition catalogue.
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 25 November 1912
Ewart encloses a cheque for the ewes Elwes is sending him, and confirms the number of sheep that are being sent. He tried to cross a he-goat with some ewes but there was no progeny. He asks if Ewart would like to see Appel's book on sheep.
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 01 December 1912
