Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 03 October 1910

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 14 February 1911
Oliphant reports that the Duke of Bedford will gladly send a young stallion along with the Przewalski's mare and the hybrid filly, on the understanding that the Woburn estate gets the first-born Przewalski's filly foal.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 14 February 1914
Oliphant writes that he wishes to get rid of the young stock of hybrid Przewalskis, all of which have a good temperament. As he is aware that Ewart recently sold one of his hybrids to work down a coal mine, he wonders whether Ewart will assist in disposing of the animals.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Colonel George A. Oliphant, 17 March 1915
Oliphant, on behalf of the Duke of Bedford, offers Ewart a yearling filly by a Przewalski's stallion out of the Mongolian mare. If Ewart would not like to have the mare, perhaps the 'Edinburgh Garden' would.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from George A. Oliphant, 28 March 1910

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from George A. Oliphant, 01 March 1911
Oliphant writes that he will communicate further with Ewart about the Indian cattle. He dispatched the Przewalski's mare and hybrid filly to Claud Alexander, but the stallion could not be sent due to being too violent.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Sir Claud Alexander, 16 May 1912
Alexander writes that he has not got another Przewalski's horse so far and the mares are not in foal. He has informed Colonel Oliphant of this. He is disappointed at his cross-bred lambs but the Africans and the fat tails are better. He asks whether Ewart has got permission from the Board of Agriculture to use his fat-tailed ram.
