5 I’ve been wanting to come & see you, but this heat makes it so
6difficult to get about. I’ll try to come some day this week if my
7sister-in-law can let me have her little trap.

9 I wonder where Betty & Miss Greene are? Cape Town is such a difficult
10place in which to get at ones friends.

12 It’s rather interesting to know how Botha & the politicians are
13going to re-arrange themselves! I suppose we shall have news soon.
