Identifier: Coll-14/9/9/4

Martin advises Ewart that his notion of keeping a farm at Crosswoodburn is impractical for financial reasons.

He also mentions that Ewart 'should get a big price for 'Romulus' (Ewart's first zebra hybrid) now as he is a hybrid with a past'. He encourages Ewart to publicise his findings from his hare-rabbit cross-breeding.
