Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 01 June 1913

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 24 June 1913

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 25 August 1913

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, 06 June 1914
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.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 10 June 1914
Alexander writes that he doesn't have very many old sheep but plenty of piebalds and shearling rams for 30 shillings each as well as a black ewe which interested Elwes. He asks Ewart to let him know which sheep he wants as he must send all his spare stock to market due to the drought.
