Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Carl Hagenbeck, 08 June 1904

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Carl Hagenbeck, 30 September 1905
Hagenbeck writes that the Przewalski's stallion with a longer mane than the others is now in the Zoological Gardens, Cincinnati. He is sorry that Ewart lost his Przewalski's horse without having a foal from him, and offers to send him one of his stallions for a year. He hopes to find a customer for Ewart's hybrid Onager and will send Ewart a photograph of his Java pony, which he will have to sell. He will also try to find out where the skin of a mountain zebra can be obtained.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Carl Hagenbeck (incomplete), 28 December 1901
Hagenbeck states that the Przewalski's stallion and the Mongolian mare should be sent immediately to Leith, Edinburgh.

He provides information on the best conditions for looking after the stallion.
