Letter to Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell from Edward Allen Clemens (incomplete), 21 June 1902
Clemens writes to Cockerell regarding Ewart's research into and experiments with dun-coloured animals. He wonders whether any still exist in New Mexico of sufficiently pure blood to be of value to their experiments. He goes on to discuss markings, and offers to make certain of his ponies available for sale.

Potscard to James Cossar Ewart from Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell, 12 February 1902
Cockerell states that he wishes he could conduct experiments on horses in New Mexico as the conditions are very favourable. He mentions that Wilfred Blunt is also of the opinion that the native American horse may have lived to Columbian times. At present he is looking for mixed blood in the skulls of American horses. He points out that the old horses of Europe also had large heads. He also adds that he has found a copy of an aboriginal pictograph representing a man on a horse.
