I deeply regret you have not got the returns One was sent to Mrs
7: Sprigg, one to Rev Canon Mercer, Piet Retief, Transvaal. One Mrs
8: Murray sent to a Jo'burg lady who feels deeply on the question & Mrs
9: Murray told me was anxious to have one. One I filled in myself but I
10: was lying ill in bed when I wrote it out & it was written so badly you
11: could not have made it out so I've copied it on form 22 which I now
12: sent. The delay has been caused by the illness & death of husbands
13: mother & of my sister Mrs Stakesby Lewis. These things have taken all
14: my time & thought & I have been long confined to bed myself. I wish I
15: could have given my evidence by word of mouth as I have much more to
16: say.
