Legend
When Cronwright-Schreiner prepared The Letters of Olive Schreiner, with few exceptions he then destroyed her originals. However, some people gave him copies and kept the originals or demanded the return of these; and when actual Schreiner letters can be compared with his versions, his have omissions, distortions and bowdlerisations. Where Schreiner originals have survived, these will be found in the relevant collections across the OSLO website. There is however a residue of some 587 items in The Letters for which no originals are extant. They are included here for sake of completeness. However, their relationship to Schreiners actual letters cannot now be gauged, and so they should be read with caution for the reasons given. The year is provided by Cronwright-Schreiner in a parenthetical comment.
1To Mrs. E. J. Stanley (Clifford Cawood).

4its life has gone. I hope all goes well with the dear ones there.
5Isn't Ossie's wife sweet? I long to see their little boy. I am so glad
6you are so happy, dear, and wish I could see you and yours.
