Cecil congratulates Ewart on his recent paper and remarks on the possible behavioural changes of mares resulting from being served in late April and early May and then turned out to soft grass at night. He believes the paper to be easily accessible to the layman and suggests publishing it in The Field and The Livestock.

The end of the letter appears to be wanting.

Cecil thanks Ewart for sending photographs and his paper. He goes on to complain of losing 7 mares and 11 foals the previous year to the strongylus parasite.
