Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Albert Sherbourne Le Souef, 26 May 1930

 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/36/7
Scope and Contents

Le Souef asks Ewart to procure some photographs of hybrid 'Psoa' sheep and a typical sample of wool from Gillespie. Some pastoralists have expressed an interest in the wool from these sheep as it may make a better tweed-like cloth when mixed with Merino. He reports that he has worked out a scheme which he hopes will lead to the production of many quality skins from colder districts.

Dates: 26 May 1930
