Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 11 July 1903
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/9/74
Scope and Contents
Cecil writes that he will get his mares home with 'Duchess' and 'En Labi' from Dumfries. He reports that he has now caught the Connemara stallion which he is happy to exchange for Ewart's grey. His guinea pig experiments crossing a red with a brown have produced one curious result but the rest are uninteresting.
