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 Dalgety and Company Ltd, 21 July 1925
The company includes in their letter the contents of all the correspondence that has passed between themselves, O.R Falkiner and T.H Gillespie concerning the shipment of Soay sheep to Australia, in order to clarify an apparent misunderstanding on Ewart's part about what kind of sheep Falkiner wants.
