Forsyth provides some family details and information about the meeting of the Congested Districts Board at which Forsyth argued the case for Ewart's 'Pony Report'. He also reports meeting with the new Secetary of State for Scotland, 'Tullibardine' of Blair Atholl and a pony salesman.

Forsyth thanks Ewart for sending him 'The Multiple Origin of Horses and Ponies', which Forsyth says will form the first part of the report which he proposes to bring out the Congested District Board. He writes that he has written to Tullibardine offering to visit Atholl.

Stewart-Murray, who signs himself 'Tullibardine' writes that he is willing to pay up to £12 12s for 'Braemore'.

Stewart-Murray asks where 'Braemore' will stay during the summer and winter and states that he will try and find a few mares to suit him. He wonders whether the Congested Districts Board or the Duke of Portland would take his stallion 'Bonnie Laddie'.

Lord Stewart-Murray, who signs himself 'Tullibardine', says he can either send his pure-bred Arab pony to Edinburgh or he could put Ewart's mares up at his residence, Dunkeld House, Dunkeld. He gives instructions for the care of the pony when he is with Ewart, and asks that Ewart keep an account of the mares the pony serves.
