Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 01 November 1910
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 03 November 1910
Alexander writes that he will try to procure a skull and legs of a polled Somerford cow and that he knows where Ewart can get a skull of a Norfolk red poll cow. He would be happy to purchase a Przewalski's mare if the price is low enough.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 11 November 1910
Alexander has asked his friend in Norfolk to send Ewart the skull of a pure bred red poll directly. He notes what Ewart says about the Newstead skulls being concave between the horns, and suspects this may be the case with some of the Hamilton cattle.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 02 March 1911
Alexander acknowledges safe receipt of the two ponies and provides a description of them.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 01 May 1911
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.
