Henderson writes that he is sending Ewart two photographs (photographs not present) of a cart used to carry Punjab sheep tails. He remarks that the tails are not as large as some of the ones he has seen.

Henderson enquires whether Ewart received the photographs he sent of the Punjab large-tailed sheep. One of the carts used for carrying the sheep tails has now arrived in London, and he asks Ewart to confirm where he would like it to be sent.

Henderson writes that he is glad that Ewart is pleased with the cart he sent him and comments that the good carpenters and masons have all been engaged to the Railway Workshops, which has altered the quality of their work. He hopes Ewart has a pleasant trip to New Zealand.

Henderson writes that when he was in New Zealand he was told that the sheep could not live due to the lack of phosphates in the soil, but that the bullocks there feed upon shellfish.
