Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Heatley Noble, 30 March 1912
Noble writes that he is expecting a visit from Elwes and that Ewart is welcome to stay too. He sees in The Field that Lydekker still believes that a certain breed of sheep are from South Africa although he has not been able to provide any proof, and that they were certainly in Britain 100 years before either of the flocks he mentions.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 25 May 1912
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 19 October 1912
Elwes writes that the wool of the Ryeland sheep is probably the softest English-grown wool, that they make a good cross with the Welsh sheep and would probably improve the uniformity of the Shetland. He gives a negative review of Lydekker's book The Sheep and Its Cousins.
