Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Arthur Cecil, 01 May 1904
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).
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from James N. Forsyth, 11 May 1902
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.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from James N. Forsyth, 24 March 1903
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.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from James N. Forsyth, 27 March 1904
Forsyth recommends that Ewart consider publishing his report on Highland ponies through the Congested Districts Board. He assumes that his memo on the Antrim horse has reached Ewart.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from James N. Forsyth, 08 July 1905
Forsyth reports on the quality of two horses, 'Atholl' and 'Antrim' which he has seen in Lochboisdale.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from James N. Forsyth, [1905]
Forsyth writes that he has sent on the draft 'Sire and Service of Mares' from 1906 to Mackintosh and would be glad of any rough notes on the Monkstadt ponies (the experimental farm of the Congested Districts Board). The back of the letter contains notes in Ewart's hand on a list of names to whom he has sent his 'Tarpan' paper (possibly 'The Tarpan and its Relationship with Wild and Domestic Horses').
Letter is undated but likely to be from the year 1905.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from James N. Forsyth, 07 August 1907
Forsyth reports that the Congested Districts Board are now ceasing to breed ponies for the crofters as they believe they now have enough stock to keep them going. He thinks that the Board would be happy to purchase the ponies 'Fatima II' and 'Rhona' with their foals and agrees with Ewart that a Highland Pony Society should be formed to make for fairer judging between different breeds.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from James N. Forsyth, 27 March 1908
Forsyth instructs Ewart not to answer the recent letter in The Oban Times from a J. Macleod. He reports that Maclean of Nunton wants £25 to £30 premium for his stallion to serve in Benbecula but he has instructed the office of the Congested Districts Board not to offer more than £10. He is buying the yellow dun mare from Ritchie and will send for the Connemara pony. He concludes that there will be no Scottish Land Legislation this year.
