Notation
An unknown hand, probably Hodgson, has written 'Invitation to Plaatje's send off' onto this postcard. What Schreiner was not going to was the farewell reception for Plaatje which took place at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet Street, on 10 January 1917, organised by Georgiana Solomon. Among the interesting people there were Charlotte Despard and Sir Richard Winfrey. who both made speeches during the course of the presentation to Plaatje. Our grateful thanks to Brian Willan for this informtion.
