Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 03 May 1913

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 17 September [1913]
Elwes makes arrangements for visiting Ewart after his trip to Yorkshire. He thinks that he will soon discard the Hebridean and spotted breeds and confine himself to brown Shetlands which he will cross with Manx, Black Welsh and White Cheviots crossed with Norfolk. He also plans to try some Exmoors this year, which thrive well on Salisbury Plain. He asks whether Ewart or Cowan have any Shetland sheep arriving that year.
The year is not written on the letter.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, [c. May 1914]
Elwes asks Ewart to let him know when he can visit his sheep. He has shorn the rams but the brown Siberian will have to be killed as he has a cancerous growth on his jaw. He describes what sheep cross-breeding he intends to do and states that he must move the Wallachian sheep from Hungary.
The letter is undated.
