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'.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, [01 July 1913]
Elwes reports that he has just returned from Bristol and that Ewart's sheep arrived safely. He recommends that they take a week's rest after the show before being sent back up to Edinburgh. He hopes that the King will see the sheep on Friday.
The letter is undated, though marked 'Tuesday night'.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, [05 July 1913]
Elwes writes that the (Royal Agricultural) show was a great success and that the King looked at their sheep for longer than the others. Elwes is shortly to have an operation and leaves instructions for Ewart if he wants his sheep returned to him. He also mentions which publications have reviewed their appearance at the show.
The letter is undated, although marked 'Saturday'.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 01 June 1912
Alexander thanks Ewart for sending him the pony, and asks his age. He also requests Elwes' address to thank him for sending him one of his papers on sheep. He asks if he thinks Lord Arthur Cecil would join the 'Menagerie Club', as they hope to be able to put on a show and exhibit some hybrids the following year.
