Cecil states that is trying to reduce his numbers (most likely of his pony stock) and wonders whether Carl Hagenbeck could be induced to start a new industry in ponies in Germany. He also writes that his wife is sending Ewart a photograph of the black puppy.

Cecil states that she has never come across an Arab horse in Hungary, or a Hungarian horse with a white mane and tail. She reports on the sales of ponies they made recently and that their Scotch terrier has had puppies. She concludes by saying 'I am so glad you are looking at tails and not warts anymore!'

Cecil informs Ewart of the time of his forthcoming horse sale and provides information about other sales. He also gives directions as to the delivery of a puppy by train.

Reid writes that one in ten Retriever pups are born brown, a trait that continues to make its appearance despite the brown dogs never exhibiting any black colour and the black dogs never showing any brown.

Tegetmeier states that he will look out in The Field for any references to hare-rabbit hybrids, which he suspects are impossible. He also says he will place an advert in The Field for a white pheasant cock for Ewart and make enquiries about Dalmatian pups.
