Postcard to James Cossar Ewart from Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell, 11 March 1902
Cockerell passes on a reference to an account of a bronze bell handle found on the Pacific coast of North America in the 16th and 17th centuries. He wonders whether the Spaniards might have been able to bring over any Asiatic horses on these occasions. He suggests that Ewart might like to publish the characters (both external and osteological) of the leading breeds of horses in England, as he believes there is a lack of published zoological descriptions of these breeds.
Potscard to James Cossar Ewart from Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell, 12 February 1902
Cockerell states that he wishes he could conduct experiments on horses in New Mexico as the conditions are very favourable. He mentions that Wilfred Blunt is also of the opinion that the native American horse may have lived to Columbian times. At present he is looking for mixed blood in the skulls of American horses.
