Dear Mr Merriman
5:
6:
I was glad indeed to see your remarks on the Indians. Im It is not
7: waving their little Union Jacks in the faces of other people that
8: makes the true ^& good^ Imperialist; but trying by justice & love to
9: draw nearer all the races who make it. With out love & fellow feeling
10: Imperialism is a hideous sham.
11:
12:
I should like much to speak ^write^ on the Indian question, but am not
13: able to now
14:
15:
I am arriving on the 21st in Cape Town & sail for Europe on the 6th of
16: Dec to seek medical advice.
17:
18:
I hope I shall see you to shake hands before I leave.

Your very sincere, ^& wellintentioned^ if ^if^ "mis-guided" friend,
