Murray accepts Ewart's offer of two Siberian rams and hopes Ewart will be able to assist in finding a merchant for the Highland pony stallion. He thanks Ewart for recommending someone to weave the wool.

Forsyth recommends that Ewart consider publishing his report on Highland ponies through the Congested Districts Board. He assumes that his memo on the Antrim horse has reached Ewart.

Forsyth asks Ewart to accompany him to Monkstadt (the experimental farm of the Congested Districts Board) to see the ponies. He also wishes to consult him about the some public allegations that the Congested Districts Board are reviving the Highland ponies by crossing them.

Mackenzie writes that he is glad the St Kilda ewe arrived with Ewart safely. He states that as far as he knows the Skye pony is extinct and reports that his black mare has foaled.

Hope thanks Ewart for his letter concerning the chestnuts (callosities) on the pony 'Vulcan' and 'Odin' and confirms that the pony 'Thorean' has no sign of hind chestnuts or ergots. She reports that they were much taken with Ewart's yellow Highland pony's colour at the show.

Fraser-Tytler confirms arrangements for visiting Devonshire with Ewart and his wife, and asks whether Ewart will be seeing the Polo and Riding Pony Show. He disagrees with the men who wish to start a new stud book for Highland Ponies.

Cecil requests that the two Highland ponies be sent in a horse box. After providing some personal details, he goes on to describe the physical characteristics of the Dartmoor pony.

Cecil, who is confined in London after a cab accident, speaks of his low regard for the innkeepers, and he believes they will have more luck dealing directly with the crofters. He goes on to discuss the merits of different Highland ponies.

Cecil thanks Ewart for the offer of a terrier, which he accepts. He states that he had travelled to Kingairloch to see a two year-old horse out of a pure Highland mare as well as a brown breed of 'a very old kind of Scottish Terrier'.

Cecil provides details of the Gaick ponies which are to be sold shortly in Perth. He states that all of his Highland ponies have chestnut callosities but only small ones.
