Legend
The Extracts of Letters to Cronwright-Schreiner were produced by Cronwright-Schreiner in preparing The Life and The Letters of Olive Schreiner. They appear on slips of paper in his writing, taken from letters that were then destroyed; many of these extracts have also been edited by him. They are artefacts of his editorial practices and their relationship to original Schreiner letters cannot now be gauged. They should be read with considerable caution for the reasons given. Cronwright-Schreiner has written the date and where it was sent from onto this extract, that Olive Schreiner had met Hofmeyr and Malan, the latter several times, during her visit. Jan van der Berg was being tried for perjury regarding his evidence against three Hanover men executed during the South African War.

2night. I wondered if you were well & where Jan v.d. Berg was, & what he
3was busy at!!...
