Przewalski's Horse

Alexander writes that the Przewalski's mare has foaled, although he would have preferred a colt to a filly. He supposes the other foal will turn out to be a light bay without black legs.

Alexander asks whether Ewart still has the Przewalski's colt, as his own colt is ill. He reports that his various sheep flocks are looking their best, and that he wishes Ewart would try on Mendelian lines to get rid of the wool on tame sheep by crossing with wild ones.

Alexander writes that he will visit the clouded leopard when in London and complains at the Zoo's ignorance when it comes to curing dysentery and diarrhoea in cats. He suggests that if Ewart wishes him to do anything he should inform the authorities at the Zoo. The Przewalski's colt is doing well although Alexander does not think he has served any mares yet.

Salensky states that a decision will be made regarding the purchase of the Przewalski's horse on the return of the President.

Salensky says that he has forwarded Ewart's letter asking for the photographs he requested to the new Director of the Zoological Museum. He also asks Ewart to return him the cliches to his work on the Przewalski's horse, if Ewart's translation has not yet appeared.
