Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 03 August 1908
Cecil writes that both the brown calves are Jerseys and that Ewart is welcome to have them. He remarks on the colouring of Chillingham cattle and speculates on the true source of the Vaynol blood.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 19 August 1912
Cecil writes that he was sorry Ewart was not able to visit him, as he wanted to discuss aspects of the Shetland cow with him, some of which remind him of Indian cattle. He asks whether either Ewart or the University are inclined to continue with the Jersey-Shetland crossing experiments.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 01 December 1912
Cecil confirms details of the transport of the cow in calf to his Jersey bull from Southampton to Glasgow. They have nearly succeeded in altering the title of the stud book to the 'National British Pony Stud Book'. He wishes the Highland breeders would submit their entries, as he does not think it wise to have separate publications in England and Scotland.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil and Frieda Cecil, 28 July 1908
Cecil writes that the Chartley-Vaynol bull has set three Highland cows again and he now wishes to send the bull away although he is reluctant to have it killed.
Frieda Cecil finishes the rest of the letter after her husband has been called away. On behalf of Lord Cecil she offers to bull to Ewart if Cadzow won't take him, as well as two brown calves, and makes arrangements with Ewart about staying with him.
