The Project is grateful to the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, the University of Texas at Austin, for kindly allowing us to transcribe this Olive Schreiner letter, which is part of its Manuscript Collections. Dating this part-letter has followed an associated envelope and its postmark, which also provides the address it was sent to. Schreiner was resident in Apsley Guide in late June and early July 1884. The start of the letter is missing. Draznin (1992) places the letter as part of Schreiner's other letter to Ellis of 7 July 1884; however, we follow the archival order because of paper and ink variations and also because the sense does not follow on in Draznin's combined version.
