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 onto this extract, with where it was sent from implied by its place in the sequence of extracts.
1 …I enclose Jannie’s letter. It’s private of course. I don’t
2want a little Afrikander nation: if there’s to be a united South
3Africa, that’s just what must not be. The nation must be as big as
4the land & include every man & woman on the soil… How does Sapley do?
5 Do you get your midday meal at the Hotel?...
