Scope and Contents
Gilmour thanks Ewart for sending him 'The Wild Horse'. He says that he has contacted his 'old and faithful stud groom W[illia]m Blackie' to see if he can assist in procuring a suitable man for Ewart's vacant post of stud groom. He comments that 'Scotch grooms are, take them as a whole, fairly decent chaps, but they are not horsemen.'
