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, 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 James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 01 May 1913
Elwes asks Ewart to confirm when they will meet to decide which sheep to show at Bristol, as he must shear his rams. He bought some sheep on Anglesey and asks whether Ewart would like a ram of the same breed.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 31 May 1913
Elwes asks Ewart to approve a short notice of their exhibit for insertion in press information. He believes it would be more interesting to show the Southdown-Soay cross and lamb instead of the Wensleydale.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 05 June [1913]
Elwes writes that he wants some time with Ewart to go through his catalogue when they are both in London, and to make sure the choice of sheep are right for the forthcoming Royal Agricultural Show in Bristol.
The year is not written on the letter.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, [c. 06 June 1913]
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'.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 24 June 1913
Elwes provides some suggestions regarding the transportation of the sheep to Cheltenham from Edinburgh for the Royal Agricultural Show in Bristol. He will send Ewart details of the valuation of the wool for the guidance of Ewart's committee as to future crossing experiments.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, [27 June 1913]
Elwes writes confirming the arrangements for the reception and admittance of the sheep at Bristol, and asks Ewart to confirm what sheep he is to send back and what to keep.
The letter is undated, although marked 'Friday'.
