Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Baron de Parana (in French), with modern English translation (2 copies), [c. 1899]
Baron de Parana thanks Ewart for sending a copy of his book on telegony. He then lists the six zebra hybrids in his possession, detailing their physical characteristics, and in particular their height and the dappling on their coats. He discusses telegony and 'infection', which he does not believe in. He cites many human examples to disprove the theory of telegony.
Letter is undated. It is not known who made the translation.
