Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 27 September 1911

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 08 November 1911
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.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 11 November 1911

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 22 May 1912

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 01 June 1912
Alexander thanks Ewart for sending him the pony, and asks his age. He also requests Elwes' address to thank him for sending him one of his papers on sheep.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 06 June 1912
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.
