Cecil mentions that he has forwarded a letter to Forsyth showing that the Atholl horse is in demand. He enquires after 'young Willie' (presumably Cecil's son), who is currently staying with Ewart. He reports that there are two foals from 'Herd Laddie'. He confirms that the horse 'Glen' is the full brother of 'Highland Laddie' out of Coulmore's old 'Polly' by 'Alan Kingsburgh' (Lord Lovat's stallion).

Forsyth states that he will be unable to go to Pitlochry to see some stallions. He hopes to see Ewart at the Polo Show later that week.

Forsyth mentions a stallion, 'Roderick' that he intends to buy, and gives an example of a 'faked' pedigree of one of his other stallions.

Forsyth writes that he is awaiting a summons to Edinburgh to complete the annual report of the Crofters' Commission. He states that he will be unable to be in London for the Polo Pony Society Show, but that he hopes to be able to visit Ewart in Penicuik when Ewart returns from London.

Forsyth states that he is replying to both Ewart's official and private letters, and that he is forwarding his official letter on to Arthur Cecil (possibly relating to an application for funding). Forsyth states that he believes the 'Widow' should be served by Ewart's stallion, but acknowledges that others may have different opinions.

Forsyth enquires as to the possibilities of getting a pony to be served by his horse 'Johnnie'. He suggests that he might visit the Duke of Atholl's old stallion.

Forsyth confirms that his colleagues have agreed to the purchase of four of Ewart's ponies and the stud farm subject to certain conditions. Forsyth recommends that Ewart contact John Ritchie to engage him under terms recommended by Lord Arthur Cecil.

Forsyth welcomes Ewart back from his travels in Mexico and states that he is enclosing a letter from Cecil about the ponies (which are in the process of being purchased by the Congested Districts Board). He makes arrangements to see Ewart.

Forsyth writes that he intends to travel from Tobermory to Portree on 09 June and that he hopes Ewart will be able to join him.

Forsyth reports on the quality of two horses, 'Atholl' and 'Antrim' which he has seen in Lochboisdale.
