Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry Fairfield Osborn, 28 March 1902
Osborn writes regarding the Shetland stallion that he had asked Ewart to purchase for him. He requests that the stallion be shipped from Glasgow to New York with Anchor Line and requests that if the pony should die en route, that his body be preserved. He also provides details of his striped dun which is being shipped East.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry Fairfield Osborn, 28 January 1913
Osborn writes that the Museum hopes to purchase the 'Celtic' pony later that year. They wish to have him in his winter coat so that the skin could be mounted separately from the skeleton, and he asks advice on what time of the year to purchase him. He compliments Ewart on the progress he is making with the breeding of domesticated animals.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry Fairfield Osborn, 05 December 1913
Osborn writes that he is delighted that the Celtic pony is to be added to the type collection in the American Museum of Natural History. He believes it will be advantageous to have the pony exposed to the winter climate to bring out its distinctive coat characteristics. He is glad to hear from Ewart about the progress being made with the zoological park. At present he is busy completing the Titanothere volume, but he will appreciate Ewart's researches when he comes to the horse volume.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry Fairfield Osborn, 05 January 1918
Osborn writes that he will shortly send Ewart a revision of the Equidae, which he calls 'a dry, exhausting piece of work, which is, however, absolutely essential for the more interesting monograph which I trust will follow one day.' He reports that the Celtic pony is now in full coat and is not typical. As it lacks many of the specific characters on which Ewart established the subspecies, he requests again the skeleton and skin of the type.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry Fairfield Osborn (unsigned), 23 May 1902
Osborn writes regarding the safe arrival of his Shetland pony in New York for an exhibition. Dr Matthew is sending Ewart casts of horses' feet for his examination. He also reports the safe arrival of his striped dun.
