Dear Fan
5:
6:
A beautiful thought has just struck me. I have got my pass from
7: General Lyttleton to go up to Johannesburg & can go any time. I want
8: to move into our little cottage first, am not feeling over fit the
9: last days so think I shall be going in about ten days or a
10: fortnight’s time. Well wouldn’t it be possible for you to come up
11: with me? We might meet at Hanover Rd= or you might come here for a day
12: or so first?
13:
14:
You’ve always wanted to see Pretoria. You would I suppose stay at
15: Bessie’s. I shall only be in the Transvaal a few day but if you
16: wanted to stay longer you’d be nearly sure to meet some one you
17: could travel down with. Give the matter serious thought I suppose your
18: brother will be gone by that time, but you would enjoy a visit there,
19: & it would be so nice if we two could go up together. I am travelling
20: first class because the trafic manager says I can go up with the half
21: of the old ticket I came ^down^ with three years ago. We might break the
22: journey at Bloemfontein for a day if you liked to see the place.
23:
24:
Good bye, dear.
25:
Your little sister Olive
26:
27:
^I got a nice long letter from Jan Smuts yesterday. He is returning to
28: meet his wife at Pretoria this week.^
