Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 12 May 1907

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 06 October 1896
Cecil thanks Ewart for updating him on news of the development of the foal 'Romulus', particularly the changes in the colour of its coat. He describes a pony stallion called Lord Ronald that his father once bought 'of the same breed as my stallion Highland Laddie years and years ago but no-one can trace it ever going to Rum.' He also remarks 'what you say about artificial fertilisation is most interesting and I am awaiting news of your Faroe Iceland pony most anxiously'.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 11 October 1896

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil and Frieda Cecil, 28 July 1908
Cecil writes that the Chartley-Vaynol bull has set three Highland cows again and he now wishes to send the bull away although he is reluctant to have it killed.
Frieda Cecil finishes the rest of the letter after her husband has been called away. On behalf of Lord Cecil she offers to bull to Ewart if Cadzow won't take him, as well as two brown calves, and makes arrangements with Ewart about staying with him.
