Alexander writes that he has received a Przewalski's colt from Woburn and that he will give him some training before letting him run with the mares.

Alexander reports that the Przewalski's colt is now doing lessons with a dumb jockey and progressing well.

Alexander writes that he will visit the clouded leopard when in London and complains at the Zoo's ignorance when it comes to curing dysentery and diarrhoea in cats. He suggests that if Ewart wishes him to do anything he should inform the authorities at the Zoo. The Przewalski's colt is doing well although Alexander does not think he has served any mares yet.

Alexander asks whether Ewart still has the Przewalski's colt, as his own colt is ill. He reports that his various sheep flocks are looking their best, and that he wishes Ewart would try on Mendelian lines to get rid of the wool on tame sheep by crossing with wild ones.

Alexander writes that the Przewalski's mare has foaled, although he would have preferred a colt to a filly. He supposes the other foal will turn out to be a light bay without black legs.
