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. He also comments that on 8 July Olive Schreiner had been ‘Sent an “insulting” letter from John X, who, she thinks, “must be mad”. She had apparently expressed her dislike at party politics & eulogised the Swiss system’ and that she had also attended ‘Meetings of Women, (evidently organising). Wants me to address them. (Mrs. Bateman; Eliza Findlay.’.
