 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/15/4

Lönnberg states that he has at last been able to begin an investigation into what he believes to be the oldest and least mixed horse-type in Sweden, the 'shogs-russ' ('forest horse'), and provides some information about it. He asks for Ewart's opinion on whether he agrees that it is more likely to have the blood of steppe horses than any other kind.
