Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 17 March 1915
Oliphant, on behalf of the Duke of Bedford, offers Ewart a yearling filly by a Przewalski's stallion out of the Mongolian mare. If Ewart would not like to have the mare, perhaps the 'Edinburgh Garden' would.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Digby Willoughby, 20 May 1904
Willoughby, who signs himself 'Middleton', thanks Ewart for the photograph he sent and provides one of his pony (not present). He reports that the daughter of the white-maned mare at Applecross has just foaled to a thoroughbred horse and writes that he will consider the prospect of Ewart's pony going to Applecross.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from E. Brand, 14 July 1903
Brand informs Ewart that he has recently returned from Egypt hoping to call upon Professor Wallace, who would have introduced them. He writes that he has photographs which he took on the Aboukir Company's mule breeding farm near Alexandria of a mare with twin horse and mule foals. He comments that this must be a very rare instance of 'double conception' and says he would be happy to show Ewart the photographs.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from E. H. Leach, 24 January 1916
Leach thanks Ewart for the book on the development of the horse. He wonders why mares even after foaling do not get stinted so easily in cold weather as in mild, and why maiden mares do not come into season or get in foal until the end of March or early April and postulates that the cold retards development.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Frieda Cecil, 15 March 1904
Cecil thanks Ewart for the skin he sent her and provides some details about how she plans to display it. She reports that a man from Exmoor will be arriving shortly and she hopes he will clear out some of the mares on the marsh.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from George A. Oliphant, 28 March 1910
Oliphant writes that the Przewalski's mare is ready to send to Ewart, but that Mr Collier has wired to ask if the mare is safe to be housed with other horses in a hedged enclosure. He will prevent sending the mare until he hears from Ewart.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from George A. Oliphant, 01 March 1911
Oliphant writes that he will communicate further with Ewart about the Indian cattle. He dispatched the Przewalski's mare and hybrid filly to Claud Alexander, but the stallion could not be sent due to being too violent.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Gladys Robertson, 12 October 1922
