Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Albert Sherbourne Le Souef, 26 May 1930
Le Souef asks Ewart to procure some photographs of hybrid 'Psoa' sheep and a typical sample of wool from Gillespie.

He reports that he has worked out a scheme which he hopes will lead to the production of many quality skins from colder districts.
