Cecil states that is trying to reduce his numbers (most likely of his pony stock) and wonders whether Carl Hagenbeck could be induced to start a new industry in ponies in Germany. He also writes that his wife is sending Ewart a photograph of the black puppy.

Cecil states that she has never come across an Arab horse in Hungary, or a Hungarian horse with a white mane and tail. She reports on the sales of ponies they made recently and that their Scotch terrier has had puppies. She concludes by saying 'I am so glad you are looking at tails and not warts anymore!'
