Cecil suggests where Ewart might procure whole-coloured Arabian ponies in the Edinburgh area for hybridisation purposes
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 05 September 1896
Cecil thanks Ewart for 'the photo of Mulatto and Romulus' (Ewart's first zebra/horse hybrid and dam) and mentions that the Scottish Farmer should be sending 'Reid of Wishaw' (Charles Reid, the photographer). Cecil suggests that Reid should photograph Ewart's various animals (zebra, mule, donkey as well as Mulatto and Romulus) to highlight the differences in stripes between father and son, and the absence of stripes in the non-hybrid animals.
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, 29 March 1897
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.

The end of the letter appears to be wanting.
