Letter to Herbrand Arthur Russell, 11th Duke of Bedford from James Cossar Ewart (incomplete), 02 May 1907
Ewart describes the three ponies that he will send off to Woburn shortly. He states that the main questions relating to the origin of the domestic breeds of the horse will be settled if one of these mares has a foal to one of Russell's Przewalski's stallions. He states that unfortunately his Przewalski's mare is not in foal.
The latter part of the letter, including author's signature, is not present.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Charles S. Plumb, 08 November 1904
Plumb asks Ewart for a copy of a paper which he presented to the Royal Society in 1902 on a new species of horse. He mentions that he has used lantern slides in his own lectures showing some of Ewart's work on telegony and regrets not introducing himself to Ewart at the Royal Agricultural Show at York in 1900. He mentions his own work in the instruction in breeds, breeding, feeding and management of domestic animals at Ohio State University.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from E.W Morse, 09 April 1912
Morse supposes that the separates of Ewart's article will have reached him by now. The original drawings will be sent later after copies have been made. He provides details of some publications on the origin of the common fowl. Anything that Ewart publishes on the ancestry of domesticated animals would be greatly appreciated.

He compliments Ewart on the progress he is making with the breeding of domesticated animals.
