Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 01 May 1911
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/17/29
Scope and Contents
Alexander is relieved that Elwes enjoyed inspecting his sheep, although he considers Elwes' aim of trying to manufacture a breed of sheep with the hardiness of Welsh and the size and fleece of Lincoln longwools to be an impossibility. He reports the birth of a fat-tailed ram lamb out of his best ewe. Ewart should treat Mr [Guracy?]'s letter with caution, as he is an untrained observer and Alexander has known him to make errors.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 06 June 1914
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/20/10
Scope and Contents
Alexander reports that his pregnant mare has died. He asks whether Ewart would like to take on all of his fat-rumped ewes for £10. He has a donkey very near foaling by the mule 'Jacob', which proves that he can still get stock. He states that can give Ewart the breeding of the sheep if he saw them.
