1 Dear Friend, Miss Green’s article was splendid warm & from the heart,
2 & yet restrained. I wish she would write more.

4 We have been ten days here without a post now, so have no news of the
5outer world, which makes me a little restless, almost too restless to
6work. I have written one little article on the Boers, & sent it off to
7America.

9 The life here is a delightful & restful as ever. I should revel in it
10even more completely if I did not need to work; but I know how
11remorseful I shall be when I get back to the noise & agony of
12Johannesburg, to think that I didn’t use my quiet here in writing. I
13have brought my typewriter.
14
15 P I wonder what you will decide about the school. While South African
16affairs remain in the present state they are in I fear the strain of
17having to concentrate thought on the school as well must be great.
18
19 I wonder so much if you have been down to Cape Town & if you saw
20Milner there. I still can’t help feeling sorry for him; & perhaps
21now Garrett is gone things will mend. Do you know whether Garrett is
22really ill, or whether he has gone home, to work on the other side? Do
23they say in Cape Town that Rhodes is drinking much?
24
25 Good night. I wish so much you & Miss Greene were here. I believe you
26would find it as much heaven as I do.
