4 Dear old Fan

6 I was so glad to get your letter this morning. I am working hard to
7get my book on the Boer finished so that I may send it to England &
8America in a fortnights time. I breathe much better here, but cant get
9strong some how.

11 I wonder what our children thought of that hideous hooting crowd at St
12James. I should think they would grow up with a great passion for
13English rule, "Britannia the pride of the ocean the home of the brave
14& the free!"

16 Have you seen Cron’s interview in the Speaker which I enclose ^send
17with this^ You can send it on to Mrs Gie, with my love. He has had
18several other interviews also, & is very busy. On the 20th he goes to
19lecture at Hastings, & on the 21st at Leicester, & later on to York &
20Leeds &c.

22 "The end is not yet." I don’t know why I keep up my spirits so. Of
23course every one is very strong jingo, but they are very kind & never
24talk politics to me. I often wish that I had a humanbeing to speak to.
25Love to all the dear children. I wonder how Ursula looked at the crowd.
26 I hope she was asleep. I enclose a unreadable for unreadable
27
28 Return Cron’s interview in the Daily News which I send also.

30 Thanks for the Fortnightly & Nineteenth which I will return as soon as
31I have read them I wish I was in the Transvaal. But I can do more here.
