He reminds him about his promise of securing the original Celtic horse as the type specimen of <title>Equus caballus celticus</title> for the Museum. He reports that the little stallion Ewart sent to the Museum shows around 95% Celtic characters, and enquires whether Ewart knows of a pure little Celtic mare they could import for breeding purposes.
