The Project is grateful to Ronald Levine for kindly allowing us to transcribe this Olive Schreiner postcard, which is part of the Ronald Levine Collection. The address the postcard was sent to and the name of the addressee are on its front, while the postmark is very hard to read and the year illegible. Schreiner was resident in Harpenden from mid June to the end of September 1888. Schreiner mentions planning to read The New Antigone in a letter written to Mary Drew dated May 1888 (Mary Gladstone (Mrs Drew) Add. 46244, ff.166-167); the year of the postcard is derived from this.
