Letter to James Cossar Ewart from George A. Oliphant, 01 March 1911

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 11 November 1911

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 22 May 1912
Alexander writes that he would be delighted to take Ewart's colt and breed from him as he wishes. He will try to send Ewart any samples of wool that he wants, and is glad that Ewart is willing to speak to the Board of Agriculture on his behalf.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 25 May 1914
Alexander asks whether Ewart wishes to purchase a Mysore bull from him. He is lame but well-behaved, and Alexander would take £10 to save him from going to the butcher. He reports that his filly was hard to handle but is settling down, while her dam should foal soon although she has not wintered well and looks in poor condition. He complains that his pair of Pallas's cats are not healthy.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 15 July 1915
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.
