Legend
The Project is grateful to the West Sussex Records Office for allowing us to transcribe this letter from Olive Schreiner, which is part of its archive collections. The date of the letter has been derived from the postmark on an attached envelope, while the address it was sent to is on its front. Schreiner stayed briefly in Chester Square at the start of July 1897 and left there for Broadstairs.
