Ewart thanks Elwes for his information on sheep, which he will need for a paper he is to write. He writes that William Eagle Clarke did not land on Soay but hopes to do so on his next visit to St Kilda.

Elwes writes that he is sending Ewart his paper for him to check, and asks him to select some photographs after consulting Eagle Clarke. He is also returning the original application as altered by Wallace, and recommends that Ewart make contact with Carruthers.

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.

Evans writes that he is passing over to Eagle Clarke's part of the Annandale series of papers to the Royal Physical Society, and recommends that the paper be permitted as it stands. He provides some citations and references to articles which he thinks might be of interest to Ewart relating to the breeding of mice, guinea-pigs, rabbits and fowls.
