Legend
The Project is grateful to the National Archives Repository, Pretoria, for kindly allowing us to transcribe this Olive Schreiner letter, which is part of its Micofilm Collections. This letter is by and from Olive Schreiner, with Cronwright-Schreiner acting as her amanuensis or secretary. Schreiner was very briefly in Broadstairs in early July 1897, returning to Morley’s Hotel on the night of Sunday 4 July, thus the dating of the letter.

3: Dear Mr. Stead,
4:
5: My wife asks me to say she should like to meet you. Her health has
6: been and is so bad (the English climate not suiting her) that she may
7: have to return to the Cape very soon. In any case our movements are
8: uncertain. She would not like to leave without having met you.
9: Politics as touching South Africa can be avoided if you wish it.
10:
11: We went to Broadstairs on Saturday, hoping she might be better there,
12: but she had asthma so severely that we had to return last night. She
13: is better today, but our stay here is uncertain; so perhaps, if it
14: suits you, you will arrange a meeting as soon as possible.
15:
16: Yours very truly,
17: S.C. Cronwright Schreiner

19: W.T. Stead Esq
