Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 12 September 1909
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/15/23
Scope and Contents
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.
