Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 17 March 1915
Oliphant, on behalf of the Duke of Bedford, offers Ewart a yearling filly by a Przewalski's stallion out of the Mongolian mare. If Ewart would not like to have the mare, perhaps the 'Edinburgh Garden' would.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from George A. Oliphant, 28 March 1910
Oliphant writes that the Przewalski's mare is ready to send to Ewart, but that Mr Collier has wired to ask if the mare is safe to be housed with other horses in a hedged enclosure. He will prevent sending the mare until he hears from Ewart.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from George A. Oliphant, 01 March 1911
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.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 16 May 1912
Alexander writes that he has not got another Przewalski's horse so far and the mares are not in foal. He has informed Colonel Oliphant of this. He is disappointed at his cross-bred lambs but the Africans and the fat tails are better. He asks whether Ewart has got permission from the Board of Agriculture to use his fat-tailed ram.
