Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Alfred Edward Pease, 03 February 1898

 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/4/2
Scope and Contents

Pease identifies a zebra skin (about which Ewart had evidently enquired) as that of a three year old mare he killed the previous year on his travels. He goes on to report that he had intended to capture a young zebra but 'had to beat a hasty retreat on account of the Abyssinians.' He concludes by stating that he does not believe there is any difference between the Shoan and Somali zebra.
