Letter to James Cossar Ewart from James N. Forsyth, 07 August 1907

 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/13/35
Scope and Contents

Forsyth reports that the Congested Districts Board are now ceasing to breed ponies for the crofters as they believe they now have enough stock to keep them going. He thinks that the Board would be happy to purchase the ponies 'Fatima II' and 'Rhona' with their foals and agrees with Ewart that a Highland Pony Society should be formed to make for fairer judging between different breeds.
