Notation
The paper Schreiner refers to is her The Political Situation, which Cronwright-Schreiner read out as a public address in Kimberley Town Hall in August 1895. Edmund Garrett's 'splendid leader on the woman?s question' has not been established. Rive's (1987) version omits part of this letter and is also in a number of respects incorrect.
