Oliphant writes that the Duke of Bedford wishes to send Ewart three Przewalski's hybrids, a Mongolian pony mare and a Przewalski's stallion and he warns Ewart that they are not tame.

Oliphant asks Ewart to give his opinion on sending the three Przewalski's hybrids in separate crates due to their wildness.

Oliphant writes that they will keep the Mongolian mare at Woburn until she foals before sending her to Ewart, and that he will send the Przewalski's hybrids in crates shortly.

Oliphant reports a delay in sending the Przewalski's hybrids to Ewart due to having to make adjustments to the size of the crates. He provides details on the animals so that Ewart can identify them when they arrive.

Oliphant writes that he will make arrangement for despatching the hybrid to Ewart, although the railway is not to be depended on due to the movement of troops.

Oliphant confirms arrangements for the transportation of the hybrid to Ewart.

Oliphant writes that he will communicate further with Ewart about the Indian cattle. He dispatched the Przewalski's mare and hybrid filly to Claud Alexander, but the stallion could not be sent due to being too violent.
