Legend
The Project is grateful to Manuscripts and Archives, University of Cape Town, for kindly allowing us to transcribe this Olive Schreiner letter, which is part of its Manuscripts and Archives Collections. Schreiner’s mention of the ‘Black Peril’ dates this letter to 1913. The letter appears to have been written to accompany a letter from Alice Corthorn about ‘our little maiden’, Lyndall (Dot) Schreiner, probably when the latter was at Newnham College, Cambridge.

13 I told Mrs Brown perhaps you would come & see her about the "Black
14Peril" but I didn’t mention Mrs Becks name to her. Of course I had
15no right to.
