Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 23 August [1911]

 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/17/48
Scope and Contents

Elwes thanks Ewart for the report, and requests that Watson returns the fleeces to him at once as he wants to show them to a cloth manufacturer as well as to Bateson, who will be visiting. He will send Ewart his Norfolk rams if he wants to try crossing them with some Cheviots. He has received few answers to the circular, and complains of 'the apathy of the average English landowner'.

The year is not written on the letter.

Dates: 23 August [1911]
