The Project is grateful to the National Archives Repository, Pretoria, for kindly allowing us to transcribe this Olive Schreiner letter, which is part of its Micofilm Collections. Schreiner has mistakenly dated this letter as February 1896, a slip of the pen as she arrived in the UK in late January 1897. The letter is written on printed headed notepaper.

16alone. I wanted you to realize what a great & good son of god he was,
17& the last thing I would have wished would have been to have it
18printed. I do intend to write something on Sir George Grey some day
