I think I shall be leaving this for Johannesburg about the 15th of Aug.
11: that is a month from today. The doctor thinks it is too cold for me
12: to stand the journey now: so you will be sure to be home by the time I
13: come. My husband is very busy; ^he is managing the case of^ one of the
14: young men of our district who is to be tried for murder in connection
15: with the taking of a train near to this a year & a half ago. He was
16: one of the rebels who surrendered with Fouches in Cradock the other
17: day. He is in prison here. unreadable Three Hanover men were executed
18: with regard to the taking of the same train. My husband gett
19: gets a good deal of legal work here, but ^many^ people are so poor that
20: for much they can’t pay anything: but he likes helping them. We have
21: not got into our little cottage yet. Some day if you are going to Cape
22: Town to visit your mother you must unreadable stop at Hanover on the
23: way. Try & find time just to send me a card to let me know if you are
24: getting stronger. Did you get the note I sent you a couple of days ago
25: telling you that I had heard from your husband.
