Elwes provides some details of the 'dun-faced sheep' and suggests that Ewart impress on Claud Alexander the importance of photographing the results of his cross-breeding experiments, rather than breeding indiscriminately. He mentions the research of Professor Keller on the Bündner sheep of Switzerland and R.F Scharff in Ireland. He hopes to visit Ewart before going to Shetland.

Alexander writes that he accepts the Duke of Bedford's offer. He will try and get Ewart a photograph of the Mysore heifer's head.

Alexander writes that he cannot afford to buy Ewart's clouded leopard but that Ewart should not let her go too cheaply. He offers his young Mysore bull to Ewart's Celtic shorthorn, and will try to get a photograph of the hybrid and provides details about piebald lambs.

Alexander writes that he would be glad to have a copy of Ewart's 'sheep paper'. He will be rounding up the ponies shortly and will try to get a photograph when they are in the yard.

Alexander offers Ewarts some ponies, as he can no longer afford to keep them. He comments that the stripes on the mare in Ewart's photograph is also visible on his mare at times.
