Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 21 September 1902
Cecil discusses the engravings, which he has seen in 'Munro's pamphlet', of the Combarelles cave in the Dordogne area of France, which include almost exact reproductions of the heads of horses. He goes on to discuss his discussions with the Hamburg Board of Agriculture about Dartmoor ponies, and mentions that the India Office are expressing a strong interest in acquiring Ewart's hybrids.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 12 November 1902

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, 07 May 1903
Cecil states his preference for the Barra pony ' 'Mais', although he is also interested in 'the Jumping Connemara' pony. He enquires about the ancestry of 'the Gondal mare' in relation to her colouring and mentions the colouring of the foals belonging to mutual acquaintances.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 11 July 1903
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.
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.
