Letter to James Cossar Ewart from G.P Lort, 20 October 1911
Lort asks Ewart for confirmation that he has received the bill for the sheep, and asks him if he wants an adult 'Soa' ram, a few Manx crosses or a fine pure-bred Manx ram.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from G.P Lort, 11 October 1910
Lort writes that he can let Ewart have four or five pure-bred brown St Kilda ewes. He has tried crossing them with the Southdown Shropshire and the four-horned red Manx and he is now trying the Cheviot. He offers to sell Ewart some lambs from a St Kilda ewe and Manx ram cross.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 16 August [1912]
Elwes writes that he has heard that the sheep at Greystoke will be transported once the restrictions in Peebles are lifted. He recommends that Ewart take a photograph of the Foula ewes while they are alive. He is buying some of Lort's Manx and Manx-Soay crosses, and a black bull with a broad white belt. He would like to put his fat-tailed ewes to Ewart's fat-tailed ram.
The year is not written on the letter.
