Legend
When Cronwright-Schreiner prepared The Letters of Olive Schreiner, with few exceptions he then destroyed her originals. However, some people gave him copies and kept the originals or demanded the return of these; and when actual Schreiner letters can be compared with his versions, his have omissions, distortions and bowdlerisations. Where Schreiner originals have survived, these will be found in the relevant collections across the OSLO website. There is however a residue of some 587 items in The Letters for which no originals are extant. They are included here for sake of completeness. However, their relationship to Schreiners actual letters cannot now be gauged, and so they should be read with caution for the reasons given.

4I shall sail on Wednesday. Coming up to London by the early train. I
5have a nurse and a doctor, he injected morphia again last night. They
6will not have my allegory in the Fortnightly. I am very lonely here. I
7would like to see you.

Notation
The allegory which the Fortnightly ‘would not have’ cannot be established.
