Letter to Edith F. Ewart from Albert Sherbourne Le Souef, 12 November 1926
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.
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 13 January 1913
Ewart writes that the account for the sheep from Cheltenham has already been paid. He tells Elwes to make a note of anything interesting on his travels, and if Elwes is back by March they may meet at the Zoological Congress in Monte Carlo. He reports that Elwes' two fat-rumped sheep and a dozen more ewes seem to be in lamb to the fat-tailed ram, and that the cloth Elwes sent is much admired. Now that Ewart's lectures are over for the winter he hopes to get some writing done.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Albert Sherbourne Le Souef, 09 November 1926
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.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Albert Sherbourne Le Souef, 23 December 1926
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.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Albert Sherbourne Le Souef, 26 May 1930
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.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Aldred F. Barker, 10 December 1921
Barker asks Ewart to advise him on the possibilities of using Blackface sheep to produce the several colours obtained in Herdwick. He assures Ewart that when they have finished with a large cloth order, they will proceed with the patterns selected by Mrs Ewart. He wonders whether the Research Association are not helping Ewart as much as they might.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Harry Sanderson, 02 April 1912
Sanderson writes that he has had to close the mill due to a coal shortage, but he will send Ewart some cloth samples shortly. He is also sending him a sample of Alpaca wool showing the different colours and enquires whether Ewart will give a lecture on sheep to his Technical School students.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 29 August 1912
Elwes says he will research some more about African sheep. Sanderson has told him that the first prize Shetland fleece at the Mid Yell Show is too fine for making good weaving material in cloth, and recommends that they stick to the Moorit colour.
