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, and that Olive Schreiner’s letter also commented that ‘On the 9th she went up to the Highlands about the funeral & left her handbag for a moment on a table, she, ^she says^ she went back ^she says^ one of Ettie’s derelicts had stolen £10 out of it! She went to the burial…’, and also that ‘Neta did not die. In 1905 Hutcheon removed the tumour, a large one, in our presence, in Cape Town; & Neta was recovering nicely, when she was run over by a cab & killed instantly. Olive had her body put into a leaden coffin, which is now with Olive in the sarcophagus on Buffles Kop.’.
