Hurst requests a copy of Ewart's paper on the Development of the Horse. He has been 'soldiering' since August 1914 and has not had time to keep up with developments in experimental work.

Whittell introduces himself as one of Ewart's old Zoology students in the summer session of 1900. He asks if Ewart could enquire on his behalf whether the University of Edinburgh would consider Whittell's medical examinations as equivalent to those required for entry into the militia.

Crichton-Stuart, who signs himself 'Bute', writes that he was interested to hear of the results of Ewart's experiments with the crossbred fat-tailed sheep, and that he will look forward to reading Ewart's paper on the subject after the war. He asks Ewart whether the experiments have tended to strengthen Mendel's theories or not. He wishes he could be in Edinburgh but his military duties keep him in North Wales.
