Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Alfred C. Burrill, 18 March 1933
Burrill writes that the State of Missouri Resources Museum Commission have been trying to gather Museum exhibits showing the ancestry of various breeds of livestock. He asks Ewart whether Bos taurus primigenius and longifrons are types of the same species, and also where they might find pictures of animals from the pre-Christian era.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from James Wilson, 28 November 1910
Wilson writes that he can give no opinion on the descent of the hornless cattle from the Etruscan, but he suspects they can be traced backwards along the North of Europe. He wonders whether they were the same as cattle from Egypt, and if so, how the geographical divide happened.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Richard Francis Scharff, 02 December 1910
Scharff writes that a great deal has been written about the domestication and place of origin of Bos taurus primigenius, but that Professor Keller has shown conclusively that its domestication took place in Greece around 1500BC and that it never existed in Northern Asia or North America. Scharff remarks that the Bison bonasus is undoubtedly a near relation to the American bison.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from W.L Griffiths, 23 March 1911
Griffiths writes that he has sent a copy of Ewart's letter regarding proposed experiments in raising certain breeds of cattle to the Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa.
