Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 13 January 1913
Ewart writes that the account for the sheep from Cheltenham has already been paid. He tells Elwes to make a note of anything interesting on his travels, and if Elwes is back by March they may meet at the Zoological Congress in Monte Carlo. He reports that Elwes' two fat-rumped sheep and a dozen more ewes seem to be in lamb to the fat-tailed ram, and that the cloth Elwes sent is much admired. Now that Ewart's lectures are over for the winter he hopes to get some writing done.
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 13 March 1913
Ewart writes concerning a paper which has gone missing in the post. Some of Elwes' lambs have been infected with parasites and are paralysed. He asks whether Elwes would like to give a couple of lectures indicating what vets should know about sheep as part of a course Ewart is organising.
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 26 May 1913
Ewart reports that the Board of Agriculture see no reason why someone should not be sent to purchase all the sheep that may be rented by him and others, but they are reluctant to move towards forming a Shetland sheep society.

Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 05 June 1913

Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 29 September 1913
Ewart writes that he has written about the 'Murrayshire' sheep which he heard about at the Board of Agriculture. Ten Shetland fleeces and some Soay-Southdown wool have been sent to Sanderson. He asks Elwes to return the Soay-Southdown and the Siberian fleeces sent to the Bristol show as they belong to the University.
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 29 October 1913
Ewart writes that he would like to see the Iceland dressed skins and asks Elwes to send them to the University. He would like to go to Iceland and if he is able to go next year, Watson would be delighted to join him.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Charles Mackinnon Douglas, 10 April 1912
Douglas writes that he will make further enquiries about the pony 'Mafdood'. He has finished the manuscript of the little book with Elwes and wonders if Ewart will write a short note on the origin of the pony.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Heatley Noble, 30 March 1912
Noble writes that he is expecting a visit from Elwes and that Ewart is welcome to stay too. He sees in The Field that Lydekker still believes that a certain breed of sheep are from South Africa although he has not been able to provide any proof, and that they were certainly in Britain 100 years before either of the flocks he mentions.
