Fraser-Tytler writes that it is a shame Ewart will miss meeting Majors McNeill and Schofield to see the ponies being bred in the Highlands and Islands before they write their report. He recommends contacting Lord Lovat for any help he might be able to provide. He wonders if Major McNeill is the old friend of his who used to be in the 16th Lancers.
