Alexander writes that he is enclosing a cheque for the half-bred ponies, and he would be delighted to have a Siberian lamb to cross-breed with. He asks whether Ewart would have any use for mismarked calves of the white cattle, as well as any black 'Soa' ewe lambs.

Alexander writes concerning what money he would take for the sale of the filly, and invites Ewart to come and see his lambs. He adds that he has got a perfectly marked white calf from a pure fawn Jersey by the white bull.

Alexander gives instructions for Ewart to return the pony to him and comments that due to the war his stock is greatly reduced. He provides details of the offspring of a piebald mare which he considers to be breeding very oddly.

Alexander offers Ewarts some ponies, as he can no longer afford to keep them. He comments that the stripes on the mare in Ewart's photograph is also visible on his mare at times.
