Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 21 June 1907
Oliphant writes that the Duke of Bedford will purchase the three pony mares from Ewart but not the Przewalski's mare.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 12 August 1908
Oliphant writes that as neither the brown pony or the foal is not in good condition, he has recommended that the Duke of Bedford have them destroyed unless Ewart has a particular interest in them. He wonders if Ewart would like the carcase of the foal sent to him.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 25 March 1909
Oliphant writes that the Duke of Bedford wishes to know what Ewart would like to to do further with the experiments at Woburn with cross-breeding a Przewalski's horse with pony mares. He wonders if the Mongolian stallion kiang and mare would be of any use to Ewart to experiment with on the land he has recently acquired.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 17 February 1910
Oliphant notes that Ewart is willing to conduct the previously mentioned crossing experiment himself and desires to know what animals he will require from Woburn. The Duke of Bedford asks Ewart to liaise with John T. Mackenzie of Dunvegan about obtaining some Soay sheep when the embargo on their export has been lifted.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 22 March 1910

Ewart asks Ewart to confirm what is to be done with the sending of the Przewalski's mare after Collier's enquiry regarding the housing of the mare.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 29 September 1910
Oliphant writes that the Duke of Bedford has consented to take the Przewalski's mare and hybrid foal back to Woburn at the request of Mrs Collier, whose husband was in charge of the matter. Oliphant asks Ewart to resolve the issue, as the mare is his property.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 03 October 1910
Oliphant reminds Ewart that the matter of the Przewalski's mare and hybrid foal was between Ewart and Mr Collier at the stud farm and that the Duke of Bedford has only agreed to keep them at Woburn as a favour owing to Mr Collier's illness.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 14 February 1911
Oliphant reports that the Duke of Bedford will gladly send a young stallion along with the Przewalski's mare and the hybrid filly, on the understanding that the Woburn estate gets the first-born Przewalski's filly foal.
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.
