Cecil writes that he has offered the pony 'McNeil' to the Duke of Portland for £25 and that he has nine foals by 'Monad-Liahd' out of Rum mares and mainland-type mares.

Cecil thanks Ewart for updating him on news of the development of the foal 'Romulus', particularly the changes in the colour of its coat. He describes a pony stallion called Lord Ronald that his father once bought 'of the same breed as my stallion Highland Laddie years and years ago but no-one can trace it ever going to Rum.' He also remarks 'what you say about artificial fertilisation is most interesting and I am awaiting news of your Faroe Iceland pony most anxiously'.

Cecil thanks Ewart for sending photographs and his paper. He goes on to complain of losing 7 mares and 11 foals the previous year to the strongylus parasite.

[Sloss] writes that it would be preferable if Ewart came later to see the foals and asks whether Ewart has found a groom yet, as he has heard of a suitable one.

Author's signature is unclear.

McLeod writes that he is sending Ewart the colt foal, which he hopes he will be pleased with, and asks for expenses to cover the cost.

McLeod reports that all except one of his half-Arabs were sold, although they did not fetch as much money as the Skye foals.

McLeod states that there are not any half Arab foals in Glenhinnisdal but that there are some at Earlish and Glenuig. He makes enquiries after the colt that he sold.

Hayes states that he hopes Ewart received the pulls of blocks he had produced from the negatives of the Norwegian pony and the long-maned pony, bay and foal. He has also recently received some photographs of typical Australian and Chinese ponies. He is pleased that Ewart thinks favourably of the idea of the two of them collaborating on the writing of a book on horse breeding and proposes to first publish a few articles in the Live Stock Journal.

White offers Ewart two horses for sale, one a Shetland mare and the other a small filly foal.

Russ and Winkler respond to Ewart's enquiry regarding the origin of the Russian foal skins now used extensively in Britain and elsewhere. They confirm that the animals began to be bred extensively after the demand for skins rose, and that they can be found in the wild near the region of the Baikal lake and Altai mountains.
