White writes that it has not been possible to get untupped white ewes this season and complains that the demand for Moorit and fawn wool, as well as pure white wool, has become very scarce and a large proportion of the white is either tinged with red or yellow. He intends to start a flock of white ewes the following year,

White writes that he has decided not to breed with any more Moorit sheep at present as the native Shetland sheep are currently a drag on the wool market. He plans to purchase a few good white ewes to put to the Merino tup.

White writes that he is only too pleased for Ewart to make use of any results he has obtained. He would be glad if Ewart could get him one of the Peru Merino sheep, as he believes it would make a good cross for white wool.

The latter part of the letter is not present.
