Legend
The Project is grateful to Manuscripts and Archives, University of Cape Town, for kindly allowing us to transcribe this Olive Schreiner postcard, which is part of its Manuscripts and Archives Collections. The date of this postcard is provided by the postmark. The address it was sent to and the addressee are on the card and there is a colour picture of a field of arum lilies with a kappied girl in it on its front, with the printed caption ‘Field of Arum Lilies – South African Weeds. W.B.P. Series, Cape Town.’ Schreiner was resident in Hanover from September 1900 to October 1907, after 1902 with visits, sometimes fairly lengthy, elsewhere.
