Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 31 August [1912]
Elwes will send his fat-tailed sheep to be served by Ewart's ram and could also send some 'so-called Siberian' sheep which he is buying. He asks Ewart to confirm when would be a suitable time for him to visit to see his Fairisle sheep, and to settle what crosses he will make to exhibit at Bristol. He mentions some brown and white sheep of an old Spanish breed belonging to Lady Campbell.
The year is not written on the letter.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, [c.1918]

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 10 June 1914
Alexander writes that he doesn't have very many old sheep but plenty of piebalds and shearling rams for 30 shillings each as well as a black ewe which interested Elwes. He asks Ewart to let him know which sheep he wants as he must send all his spare stock to market due to the drought.
