Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Carl Hagenbeck, 10 June 1902
Hagenbeck accepts the three hybrids that he is being offered. He informs Ewart that the skin of the Przewalski's horse was sent to Walter Rothschild, but adds that he has some skins of foals with hooves that he can send him. He is going to track down a zebra-pony hybrid for Ewart born two years previously in Paris, in order that he might purchase it, and also offers Ewart a male zebra from Kilimanjaro.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Carl Hagenbeck, 27 November 1902
Hagenbeck offers Ewart £100 for the three hybrids he is selling. He offers Ewart a young Przewalski's horse skin and skeleton. He also has in his possession the skins of some Siberian Ibex which he suggests might be fitting for Ewart's 'museum' (presumably the Natural History collections at the University of Edinburgh). Hagenbeck also mentions that he had bad luck with Ewart's zebra 'Matopo', who was returned to him by a buyer due to a lung condition.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Carl Hagenbeck, 11 December 1902
Hagenbeck announces that the hybrids have arrived in Hamburg safely. He states that if Ewart would like them returned then he would sell the large ones for £40 each and the small one for £20. He has concluded that the Ibex skins are not a very good quality and so will send a better variety to him in the Spring.
