Letter to Blackett [James Cossar Ewart?] from Matthew Horace Hayes, 03 December 1902
Letter to [George Arthur?] Ewart from Matthew Horace Hayes, 31 January 1903
Hayes asks if Ewart's father could send him the negatives of the ponies to a printer in Coventry.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Matthew Horace Hayes, 26 March 1902
Hayes thanks Ewart for his article on Connemara ponies and agrees with his notion that the breed is no longer pure, having seen examples in Galway that winter. He is reminded that as a boy he had seen a distinct breed of Kerry pony, which has now become extinct. He adds that the Batak or Deli pony is fast losing its distinctiveness due to excessive breeding with Arab ponies.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Matthew Horace Hayes, 05 September 1902
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.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Matthew Horace Hayes, 09 December 1902
Hayes enquires how he could get a copy of Ewart's paper about 'Callosities and the wartless pony'. He also would like to know whether the breed Equus caballus came directly from North America or through its ancestors pliohippus or protohippus. He mentions a paper that Professor William Ridgeway has sent him on the origin of the thoroughbred horse. He also invites Ewart to visit him for hunting.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Matthew Horace Hayes, 22 December 1902
Hayes expresses regret that Ewart's paper on callosites and the wartless pony will not be published for some time, as he had wanted to include it in his new edition of Points of the Horse. He invites Ewart to go hunting and discusses the dental arrangment of the ass, stating that the ass belongs to an older equine order than the horse.
