Hayes states that he hopes Ewart received the pulls of blocks he had produced from the negatives of the Norwegian pony and the long-maned pony, bay and foal. He has also recently received some photographs of typical Australian and Chinese ponies. He is pleased that Ewart thinks favourably of the idea of the two of them collaborating on the writing of a book on horse breeding and proposes to first publish a few articles in the Live Stock Journal.

Hayes states that he has written to some publishers urging them to take the translation. He requests the return of some negatives of wild zebras or asses which he left with Master Arthur. He lists the books that he has lately been studying and suggests a dental formula for the horse.
