McHardy thanks Ewart for making arrangements for the pony 'Braemore' to be entered into the Highland Show and states that he will purchase any filly he sees comparable to 'Braemore'. He adds that he is sending a filly that he bred from 'Braemore' to the Joint Show at Dingwall.

Forsyth reports that the other members of the Congested Districts Board are complimentary about Ewart's proposed Report on Ponies, although because parts of it have already appeared in the Transactions of the Highland and Agricultural Society, they do not wish to publish it. He hopes that the pony 'Atholl' has arrived in South Uist.

Hope thanks Ewart for his letter concerning the chestnuts (callosities) on the pony 'Vulcan' and 'Odin' and confirms that the pony 'Thorean' has no sign of hind chestnuts or ergots. She reports that they were much taken with Ewart's yellow Highland pony's colour at the show.
