Also contains a copy of F.H.A Marshall's biographical memoir of Ewart, reprinted from the Obituary Notices of the Royal Society of London (3, 189-195 December 1934)

Marshall writes that he is sending copies of Ewart's obituary notice which he wrote for the Royal Society. He hopes that Mrs Ewart does not mind him including some lines from her letters in the piece.

Marshall thanks Mrs Ewart for her letter and writes that he is glad to have been 'able to render this small service and to express my own feelings toward one for whom I had a deep regard and affection.' He is sure that [Ewart's grandson] 'Gavin will certainly not be ostracised in Cambridge' and that he will soon settle down into University life.

Marshall reports that Hughes says the species is probably Bos fromtosus (of Scandinavian palaeontologists) which have a projecting mesial process. He commiserates with Ewart about the Carnegie Trust and states that it is surely time for the Scottish Universities were encouraged to adopt a more liberal policy towards the advancement of learning.

Marshall writes that T.G Carmichael says he can get [Henry B.] Marshall to join the Committee and that he would also try Sir John Gilmour. Marshall writes that he will try his Cambridge contacts, but that he would rather stay outside the Committee.

There is also a page of notes (incomplete and undated) titled 'Biological Research IV' by F.H.A Marshall detailing the contents of a letter from William Bateson in support of biological research.

Marshall thanks Ewart for his 'horse paper' and sends him Christmas and New Year greetings.

The names are assumed to relate to visitors to Ewart's residence at the Bungalow, Penicuik.
