Letter (incomplete) to James Cossar Ewart from unknown author, 21 March 1898
Letter to Henry John Elwes from James Cossar Ewart, 29 August 1912
Ewart thanks Elwes for the wool samples and the details about the Austrian Skemschaf. The four sheep have not yet arrived from Greystoke, but he doubts they are allowed into Scotland yet. Cowan is coming to see the Shetland ram from Fairisle and that he will use it with Elwes' ewes if it is judged to be better than Alexander's ram.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from A.H Cockayne, 13 October 1924
Cockayne writes that he is conducting some research into the structure of New Zealand wool, which is arousing interest among local sheep breeders. He asks Ewart to send him some samples of the 27 English wools being experimented with at Leeds and to advise him on some publications dealing with wool fibre. He makes some remarks on his findings so far.
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, 13 September 1921
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Aldred F. Barker, 21 September 1921
Barker writes that he finds it impossible to get up to Scotland. He hopes that the Research Association is getting good photographs of the parent sheep to contrast with the crossbred sheep, as well as samples of wool illustrating the rate of growth.
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 Harry Sanderson, 10 April 1912
Sanderson is glad Ewart has agreed to give a lecture at the Technical College. He encloses samples of cashmere and camel hair (not present) for comparison with the Alpaca.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry John Elwes, 12 August 1911
Elwes is sending Ewart samples of Iceland wool which he would like him to compare them with Cowan's. He judges it to be less fine than the Shetland and not as long as the white wool. He also lists the names of the recipients of the circular he has sent.
