Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, [c. 06 June 1913]

 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/19/26
Scope and Contents

Elwes regrets that he will no longer have room for Ewart in the car to the Scottish Highlands, but he hopes to see him before the Royal Agricultural Show in July. He thinks his Shetland wether hoggs are not worth keeping another year for their wool alone, so they had better be sold for whatever they are worth. He is sending around 40 fleeces of many crosses to Bradford to be examined and valued.

The letter is undated, although marked 'Friday'.

Dates: [c. 06 June 1913]
