Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Cannington of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, 24 November 1910
Cannington informs Ewart that the Development Commissioners are prepared to recommend that £40,000 annual grant be made for the encouragement of light horse breeding in Great Britain. He requests that Ewart serve on the Advisory Council of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries and outlines their proposals for use of the money, namely as the payment of premiums to stallion owners.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Charles Mackinnon Douglas, 21 March 1916
Douglas agrees with Ewart that funding would not be forthcoming from the Development Commissioners at present. Although he is in favour of the Highland and Agricultural Society supporting Ewart's work, he fears that the Directors will not agree, as at present they are disinclined to spend the Society's money on purely scientific research. However, if Ewart puts in an application, he will do his best for it in the Committee.

Levey, writing as secretary to the Committee for the 1910 Japan-British Exhibition, London, asks Ewart if his loan to the Exhibition can remain in London for another exhibition in honour of the Coronation of George V the following year.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 05 October 1912

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 24 June 1913
Elwes provides some suggestions regarding the transportation of the sheep to Cheltenham from Edinburgh for the Royal Agricultural Show in Bristol. He will send Ewart details of the valuation of the wool for the guidance of Ewart's committee as to future crossing experiments.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 02 March 1922
Elwes writes that he is sending some remarks about the report of the Committee on wool, of which Ewart was chiefly the author. Elwes believes that the Committee fails to realise that with the possible exception of the Merino and Shetland, wool is of minor importance to the breeder, and that no definite type of wool suitable for any specified purpose is indicated. He does not feel that the Welsh farm or Fochabers are suitable for experiments on crossing because they are low country farms.
