Hagenbeck mentions the zebras he has in exchange for 'Romulus' or the Exmoor hybrid and states that he is surprised to find that some people at the London Zoo consider the Przewalski's horse to be a mule. He states that he has sold 'Matopo' to Arthur Yates, refers to the Kiang pony and Korea stallion which he is trying to sell and writes of his anticipated delivery of East African zebras which he will train to harness.

Hagenbeck states that he would like 'Romulus', the Exmoor hybrid and Shetland pony, but that he can only take them in exchange. He says that he will assist the British government to send two stallions to Mombasa, and that he will try to sell the Kiang stallion for Arthur Cecil.

Hagenbeck asks for more information about the 'bastard Kiang' and provides information on the new East African zebra foals. He states that he has found that zebras are not immune to the Tsetse fly, the animal that he exposed to this fly having died in Berlin three weeks ago.

Hagenbeck states that he is unable to tell Ewart where the mare that he sent to him was caught. He writes that it will be difficult to find a customer for the Przewalski's stallion but that he will try to find a buyer for Ewart's kiang/horse hybrids.

Oliphant writes that the Duke of Bedford wishes to know what Ewart would like to to do further with the experiments at Woburn with cross-breeding a Przewalski's horse with pony mares. He wonders if the Mongolian stallion kiang and mare would be of any use to Ewart to experiment with on the land he has recently acquired.

Russell, who signs himself 'Bedford' apologises for a hurried visit to Ewart the previous day and invites him to visit him at Woburn to see his Tibetan kiangs.

Cecil confirms the details of his forthcoming visit to Penicuik. He comments on the 'jolly muddle' at Woburn Abbey about what is a kiang or not.

Cecil asks Ewart to order some more copies of 'that kiang of mine' to send out to various people. He recommends that Ewart contact Fincastle at Piershill, as he is the owner of South Harris and interested in the fisherman-crofters.He is also to be on the commitee to advise the Congested Districts Board and Crofters Commission and also well-placed to advise on the breeding of animals for miltary use.

Ridgeway asks if there is a chance of seeing Ewart in Cambridge before his University session begins in October. He reports that his book has gone to press and that he has incorporated the results of Ewart's experiments with the Kiang horse. He reports on his visit to Southport for a British Association for the Advancement of Science meeting.

Ridgeway thanks Ewart for the critique of his manuscript and offers some opinions concerning the history and characteristics of the pony Tarpan redivivus and elaborates on prehistoric horses. He makes some remarks about editorial and spelling matters and discusses the sounds made by the Kiang and Onager ponies.
