Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 29 August 1912
Ewart thanks Elwes for the wool samples and the details about the Austrian Skemschaf. The four sheep have not yet arrived from Greystoke, but he doubts they are allowed into Scotland yet. Cowan is coming to see the Shetland ram from Fairisle and that he will use it with Elwes' ewes if it is judged to be better than Alexander's ram.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Claud Alexander, 08 January 1913
Alexander writes that his friend Tyrwhitt-Drake, the secretary of the Menagerie Club, is coming to Edinburgh and would like to meet Ewart. He also reports that he thinks both his ponies are in foal and that the colt is now very quiet to ride.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from George A. Oliphant, 01 March 1911
Oliphant writes that he will communicate further with Ewart about the Indian cattle. He dispatched the Przewalski's mare and hybrid filly to Claud Alexander, but the stallion could not be sent due to being too violent.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 22 April 1911
Elwes provides some details of the 'dun-faced sheep' and suggests that Ewart impress on Claud Alexander the importance of photographing the results of his cross-breeding experiments, rather than breeding indiscriminately. He mentions the research of Professor Keller on the Bündner sheep of Switzerland and R.F Scharff in Ireland. He hopes to visit Ewart before going to Shetland.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 05 September [1912]
Elwes writes that he has bought some sheep from Claud Alexander, and that he will keep the sheep on Ewart's account on his estate until Ewart wants them. He suggests that it would be preferable if Ewart's fat-tailed ram would be sent to himself, and asks whether he received the Shetlands from Greystoke. He thinks he had now better not come to Dundee as he wishes to superintend the earmarking of his new sheep.
The year is not written on the letter.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 03 November 1910

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 07 November 1910
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 11 November 1910

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 28 January 1911
