Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lieutenant-General Walter Norris Congreve, [c. July 1905]
Congreve writes that he has been put in touch with Ewart by Colonel Spencer Ewart.

Congreve wishes to introduce fresh blood into the herd in order to rescue dwindling numbers, and asks for Ewart's advice.
Letter is undated but it is assumed to date from shortly after the letter to Ewart from Spencer Ewart at Coll-14/9/11/12.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil and Frieda Cecil, 28 July 1908
Cecil writes that the Chartley-Vaynol bull has set three Highland cows again and he now wishes to send the bull away although he is reluctant to have it killed.
Frieda Cecil finishes the rest of the letter after her husband has been called away. On behalf of Lord Cecil she offers to bull to Ewart if Cadzow won't take him, as well as two brown calves, and makes arrangements with Ewart about staying with him.
