4 Dear Sir
5
6 I deeply regret you have not got the returns One was sent to Mrs
7Sprigg, one to Rev Canon Mercer, Piet Retief, Transvaal. One Mrs
8Murray
sent to a Jo'burg lady who feels deeply on the question & Mrs
9Murray
told me was anxious to have one. One I filled in myself but I
10was lying ill in bed when I wrote it out & it was written so badly you
11could not have made it out so I've copied it on form 22 which I now
12sent. The delay has been caused by the illness & death of husbands
13mother & of my sister Mrs Stakesby Lewis. These things have taken all
14my time & thought & I have been long confined to bed myself. I wish I
15could have given my evidence by word of mouth as I have much more to
16say.
