Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Arthur Cecil, 21 November 1903

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 12 September 1909
Cecil reports that he is making good progress with the Highland Stud Book. He believes Ewart's height limitations are right but would prefer to leave out the word 'garron'. He writes that the mainland ponies are only big because they have generations of better keep and because a little Clydesdale blood has been kept in them.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 20 April 1903
Cecil writes that he thinks Ewart's 'Cushendall discovery' by far 'the most important and interesting you have yet made' (presumably referring to Ewart's reported sighting of some dwarf horses during his visit to Northern Ireland). He then goes on to make observations on what Cecil calls 'Irish-looking' features of chestnut ponies with white manes and tails.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 29 August 1903
Cecil writes that he thinks there are some yellow dun ponies around Gairloch. He discusses his plans to station his two year old South Uist stallion on Lady Fowler's land next season and reports on the condition of various of his Highland ponies.
