Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 16 August [1912]
Elwes writes that he has heard that the sheep at Greystoke will be transported once the restrictions in Peebles are lifted. He recommends that Ewart take a photograph of the Foula ewes while they are alive. He is buying some of Lort's Manx and Manx-Soay crosses, and a black bull with a broad white belt. He would like to put his fat-tailed ewes to Ewart's fat-tailed ram.
The year is not written on the letter.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 21 August 1912

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 22 August [1912]

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 27 August 1912
Elwes writes that he is ready to send his four fat-tailed ewes to Ewart, and that he is also sending some wool samples from Colonel Powney's sheep.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 29 August 1912
Elwes says he will research some more about African sheep. Sanderson has told him that the first prize Shetland fleece at the Mid Yell Show is too fine for making good weaving material in cloth, and recommends that they stick to the Moorit colour.
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, 03 September [1912]

The year is not written on the letter.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 05 September [1912]
Elwes writes that he has bought some sheep from Claud Alexander, and that he will keep the sheep on Ewart's account on his estate until Ewart wants them. He suggests that it would be preferable if Ewart's fat-tailed ram would be sent to himself, and asks whether he received the Shetlands from Greystoke. He thinks he had now better not come to Dundee as he wishes to superintend the earmarking of his new sheep.
The year is not written on the letter.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, [c 15 September 1912]
Elwes thanks Ewart and his wife for their hospitality. He asks Ewart to let him know when he can spare the ram, as he will need to buy some spotted ewes for him as well as keep his fat-tails, and does not want to be any later than 10th October.
The letter is undated.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 17 September [1912]

The year is not written on the letter.
