3 Thankyou so much for your letter. It is such a relief for to me to
4know you have Miss Knight’s address, because I feel sure it will be
5such a good thing for her to come out. I always feel so glad to women
6who are so alone in the world to any good. I am pretty sure you too
7will like her, but of course I don’t know her well.

9 Thank you both so much for wanting us to come. It would be very nice
10if it were possible. It’s curious what a wish I’ve had to go to
11Port Elizabeth the last weeks, it seemed as if you & Miss Greene would
12be doses & doses of iron & quinine to me. But we can’t do it.
13Cron’s mother & sister are starting next week or the f week after
14where they all spend some time months at the sea side, & if we go any
15where it must be next Jan to Cape Town where mee Cron can be with them.

17 I have been copying out a little bit of my Allegory story about
18Mashonaland. It’s curious but I would give hundreds of pounds if
19that story had never come to me, & yet now I feel I must publish it.
20It will make Rhodes & the Chartered Company very bitter against me &
21all conflict is so terrible.
