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, where it was sent from and the place it was sent to onto this extract, and also that Olive Schreiner was writing her book, presumably From Man to Man.
1 …It is one of the “charmed days” - the sky blue, the sun shining,
2 a sweet cool wind blowing. I went out to buy a pot of ink to go on
3with my writing, but it was too lovely, I had to go for a little walk
4down to my old ?Kummie tree at the drift. Now I am going to go on with
5my writing...
