Proofreading

Elwes writes that he has no doubt that Carruthers will publish his discoveries when he returns. He asks that Ewart return the proof of his paper by 01 December at the latest. He commiserates over Ewart's farm and promises to help him when he returns to England the following year.

The year is not written on the letter.

Elwes writes that he would be very glad to get a proof back from Eagle Clark by 01 December.

The letter is not dated, although marked 'Sunday', which appears to place it the Sunday before 01 December, ie the 26 November 1911.

Hayes informs Ewart that he is thanking 'Master Arthur' for sending him negatives and prints of a rabbit hybrid. He encloses a chapter on 'Evolution of the Horse' for Ewart's corrections and additions. He goes on to state that he is in the process of drawing up an agreement with the publishers Blackett about the translation of an article.

Prawochenski thanks Ewart for the trouble he has taken in arranging his paper for publishing and apologises for his bad English. He confirms that Ewart's paper concerning wool which was sent for the International Congress of Agriculture in 1925 will be published.

Prawochenski thanks Ewart for looking over the proofs of his work on 'Observations on the Fragment' and makes comments on aspects of the text.

Ridgeway responds to some of Ewart's comments on his proofs by writing that he will check the details of the zebra hybrid, and enquires about the date Spanish blood was introduced into the Hebrides in the eighteenth century. He reports that he has written to Osborn at the Carnegie Trust in favour of Ewart's grant proposal and that he will source some other potential funders while he is in Ireland.

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.

Ridgeway writes that he will write to Sanson for details of his North African horses. He thanks Ewart for his help with proofreading and for the loan of his illustrative blocks.
