Le Souef acknowledges safe receipt of the cloth. He writes that he has enjoyed his shooting trip and is reluctant to leave, but he will be sailing for France shortly. The Wild Animals of Australasia has just come out and he hopes it will prove useful to zoologists. He is organising a long trip through North Australia where he hopes to collect many new specimens of animals before they are wiped out.

Le Souef provides details of his travel arrangements. He writes that he is glad that the cloth is ready and asks Ewart to send it to him.

Le Souef writes that he and his wife are now on their way back to Australia via France. He asks Ewart to provide him with an account for the cloth he got woven for him as he would like to settle it before he leaves.

Le Souef asks Ewart to procure some photographs of hybrid 'Psoa' sheep and a typical sample of wool from Gillespie. Some pastoralists have expressed an interest in the wool from these sheep as it may make a better tweed-like cloth when mixed with Merino. He reports that he has worked out a scheme which he hopes will lead to the production of many quality skins from colder districts.
